Relevance:
This source provides relevant information to the topic at hand. It (the source) was used to examine the origin as well as the sources of Carbon Dioxide and obtain a clear understanding of what sort of an impact it can have on the environment. Although not all of the information in the source was used because of its indirect relevance, a great amount of background information was given in order to make the subject of Carbon Dioxide clearer and easier to understand. It does not state a for or against argument but rather serves as an excellent source of factual information.
Bias:
This pdf file states both the problem of Carbon Dioxide emissions as well as some future methods to capture and store these emissions. It also states the harmful effects Carbon Dioxide can have on the environment and how these effects can be reduced through methods used in the future such as using carbon negative or more energy efficient and conservation practices. It can therefore not be considered as to being bias in either the for or against direction. The coordinating author and leading authors who were responsible for this source are simply stating the facts, which are well referenced by other professionals in the field, in order for the reader to receive the best and most honest information. By stating both the reality of the problems that Carbon Dioxide can have on the environment as well as a variety of future solution methods, makes this source neither ...

... no process can be without fault, carbon negative have little if any. Alternative methods such as the usage of energy conservation, carbon sequestration and carbon-free energy sources all include one error: The possibility of carbon dioxide escaping back into the atmosphere. Although for a short period of time these methods do contribute to reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, they’re just not that trustworthy in the long run. Carbon negative fuels don’t have this problem as the process is set to capture more carbon dioxide set free in the atmosphere than actually produced. Another benefit includes the fact that carbon negative fuels also serves as a safeguard for irreversible climate changes caused by greenhouse gas emissions. In conclusion, carbon negative fuels are indeed the most viable method in reducing carbon emissions in the atmosphere.
