Scientists first sounded the alarm on climate change more than 40 years ago. Decades later, our understanding of the role the global economy has played in exacerbating climate change has evolved rapidly. It is now indisputable. But corporate action has not kept pace.

The selective extraction of particular gas molecules from gaseous mixtures is a challenging chemical problem with significant environmental and economic benefits for success.

Earth's climate is warming at a spectacular rate, and up to four times faster in colder regions such as the Arctic. Estimates suggest we can expect four sextillion microorganisms to be released from ice melt each year - around the number of number of stars in the universe.
