Besides thickening and hardening of the skin, scleroderma can cause skin to lose elasticity and become shiny as it stretches across bones. Other symptoms include: 1  Numbness, pain or color changes in fingers, toes, cheeks, nose and ears, often brought on by cold or emotional distress.
Schematic showing both terrestrial and geological sequestration of carbon dioxide emissions from a coal-fired plant. Carbon sequestration is the process involved in carbon capture and the long-term storage of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Carbon sequestration describes long-term storage of carbon dioxide or other forms of carbon to either mitigate or defer global warming and avoid dangerous climate change. It has been proposed as a way to slow the atmospheric and marine accumulation of greenhouse gases, which are released by burning fossil fuels.
Geologic sequestration is the method of storage that is generally considered for carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects. CCS is the practice of capturing CO 2 at anthropogenic sources before it is released to the atmosphere and then transporting the CO 2 gas to a site where it can be put into long-term storage.errestrial (or biologic) sequestration means using plants to capture CO 2 from the atmosphere and then storing it as carbon in the stems and roots of the plants as well as in the soil.
