As we know the
oceans already absorb megatons of atmospheric carbon, but dash of lime - a new twist that may cut
CO2 levels back to pre-industrial levels say some scientist. Scientists say they have found a workable way of reducing CO2 levels in the atmosphere by adding lime to seawater. And they think it has the potential to dramatically reverse CO2 accumulation in the atmosphere, reports Cath O’Driscoll in SCI’s Chemistry & Industry magazine published today.
The answer sounds like a cocktail recipe but it worth checking out more information about the open source project here

ERC Broadband announced today that it has signed an agreement with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) to provide broadband services to NCDC. NCDC, based in Asheville, provides NOAA’s climate data to millions of people. ERC Broadband is a vital partner in NCDC’s mission to acquire and deliver these data. The new agreement formalizes the partnership between NOAA/NCDC and ERC Broadband and underscores how ERC Broadband is helping Asheville build its role and reputation in the national climate services community.
Working with public, private and non-profit concerns, ERC Broadband’s goals are to grow the regional technical infrastructure and bring next generation Internet and advanced technology to the region. By accomplishing its goals, ERC Broadband is improving the overall quality of life in the area. ERC Broadband is celebrating its fifth anniversary this month.
“The new agreement stems from recognition that ERC Broadband is enhancing the national presence of NOAA’s NCDC, and that of the National Weather Service as well,” said Hunter Goosmann, General Manager of ERC Broadband. “ERC Broadband is creating awareness of and interest in climate data, and we are working with NCDC to establish and support the growth of its programs throughout the United States.”
