The new enzymes increase the efficiency, by a factor of 100, of a solvent used to capture carbon dioxide. This promises to decrease the energy needed to capture and store the greenhouse gas.

这种新型酶可以将溶剂捕获二氧化碳的效率提高100倍，它意味着今后只需要更少的能量就可以对温室气体进行捕获和储存。

Dust limits the amount of solar radiation that reaches the Earth, for example, a factor that could mask the warming effects of increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide.

灰尘限制了到达地表的太阳辐射数量，举例来说，会减缓因二氧化碳浓度增高而缠身滚的大气温室效应。

"But because each gas has a different potency, or" warming "effect on the atmosphere, a factor is applied to convert it to an equivalent of carbon dioxide."

考虑到不同气体对气候变化影响的强度各异，需要确定各自的折算因子以便于统一转换为二氧化碳当量。

And when you burn it, it's better for the environment in terms of greenhouse gases than carbon dioxide by a factor of about 18-to-1.

They show that warming spells very like that of the past 100 years occurred repeatedly, long before the large-scale use of fossil fuels and the associated emissions of carbon dioxide gas were a possible factor.

Carbon dioxide emissions come from energy use, and energy is the key factor that makes modern economies so much more productive than pre-industrial societies.
