carbon-based

It's silly to describe solar as atomic energy from sun’s fusion as a distinct category from carbon-based energy, because of course carbon-based energy was formed by capturing solar energy from the sun's fusion.

The Earth is not just a black body, and various carbon-based molecular absorption spectra is not the do-all, end-all metric that pop science writers say it is.

Next, my nutshell understanding of global warming: Temperature and carbon-based greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are closely correlated.

One couldn't argue that simply because the underlying processor is silicon-based instead of carbon-based rights are lost.

It could also be tied in to a type of carbon-based tax to encourage people towards a carbon-neutral lifestyle.

Even today, human beings are a minor source of carbon-based gases in the fast carbon cycle.

Some people (like me) are simply unwilling to keep using carbon-based sources of energy.

The tree converts CO2 into energy and carbon-based molecules using photosynthesis.

The private companies, whether silicon or carbon-based, just serve to help you prepare your tax return (ie: calculate your total tax and file the return).

The 20th century was the century of carbon-based energy.

The availability of this cheap, ubiquitous networking technology is intimately linked to the availability of extraordinarily cheap energy from carbon-based fuels as well as cheap manufacturing in various emerging markets.

Gas which was trapped down there about 50 million years ago when a weed infestation erupted and by way of chemical reaction turned a mostly carbon-based atmosphere into a mostly oxygen-based one.

I can´t picture non carbon-based lifeforms talking about humans as "meat".

Up until now the med student in me had the jerk reaction that "organic" meant carbon-based (+ nightmares from ochem), which applies to almost everything we eat.

That´s the point, we have to assume that "meat" is the English word that in their culture would be the best translation for the concept of "Biological, carbon-based lifeform".

Carbon-based fossil fuels are simply very old plants which have stored and concentrated solar energy.
