…the imbalance between the carbon footprint of a particular country, group, person, etc. and any carbon offsetting that has been agreed or undertaken to counteract this…
…a forest, ocean, or other natural environment viewed in terms of its ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere…
…a tax on fossil fuels, especially those used by motor vehicles, intended to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide…
…causing or resulting in no net release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere…
…a fine carbon powder used as a pigment, made by burning hydrocarbons in insufficient air…
…a permit which allows a country or organization to produce a certain amount of carbon emissions and which can be traded if the full allowance is not used.…
…the series of processes by which carbon compounds are interconverted in the environment, involving the incorporation of carbon dioxide into living tissue by photosynthesis and its return to the atmosphere through respiration, the decay of dead organisms, and the burning of fossil fuels…
…the determination of the age of an organic object from the relative proportions of the carbon isotopes carbon-12 and carbon-14 that it contains. The ratio between them changes as radioactive carbon-14 decays and is not replaced by exchange with the atmosphere…

…thin paper coated with carbon or another pigmented substance, used for making a second impression of a document as it is being written or typed…
…a colourless, odourless gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds and by respiration. It is naturally present in air (about 0.03 per cent) and is absorbed by plants in photosynthesis…
