Geotimes March 2003	Demonstrating Carbon Sequestration Estimates are that human activity emits 7 billion tons of carbon dioxide a year. One proposed method for reducing how much of the greenhouse gas ends up in the atmosphere is to store the carbon dioxide underground. Natural reservoirs of the gas exist, suggesting that it is feasible.
Geotimes March 2006 Naomi Lubick	Soaking up Carbon Researchers recently announced that they had created metal-based sponges that have exceptionally high capacity for storing carbon dioxide. This nanotechnology is one of many new solutions in the search to find a fix for storing human-emitted carbon-based greenhouse gases.

What's even tougher for carbon sequestration: figuring out where to store it.
