In order not to lose the habit, in this issue we will also inform you of the latest invented method to mitigate the environmental impact of carbon oxide. Scientists at Adelaide University in Australia have proposed pumping _{CO2 into} the subsoil. Among the _sources of CO2 is the one that is expelled in oil extraction and gas deposits, and they want to return to their place of origin. Scientists believe it is one of the cheapest and most practical solutions to reduce the impact of greenhouse gases. The main concern now is to find a place to store hundreds of millions of _tons of CO2.
