"Welcome to the 'Jungle' – a breath-taking book showing that tropical forests were key to our evolution, provide fossil fuels for our modern carbon-hungry society and ultimately must be protected and restored if we are to have a future. This insightful and captivating book will ensure you ...
Benzene is a natural constituent of fossil fuels and originates in combustion emissions from incomplete combustion of organic substances as well as its non-decomposition during the combustion process. It is one of the numerous unregulated HC constituents being measured and, for road traffic, regulated...
Politicians are vowing to roll back green policies and downplaying climate change ahead of key elections on both sides of the Atlantic, casting doubt on whether countries can maintain momentum in the transition away from fossil fuels. In the US, former President Donald Trump, who has a long rec...
