We’re going to explore one of the up-and-comers in the energy world. You’ve likely heard hydrogen energy suggested as one of the best ways for us to decarbonize our energy production and transportation systems—and subsequently save the planet. But there are various types of hydrogen energy, and you know what that means…they’re not all created equal!

Do Volcanoes Contribute to Global Warming?

Volcanic eruptions are often discussed in relation to climate change because they release CO2 (and other gases) into our atmosphere. The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens shot about 10 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere in 9 hours. It currently takes humanity only 2.5 hours to put out the same amount.
