5 months agoWe’ve only been pumping out co2 for a hundred or two years. We can’t keep doing that and expect the old balance to hold up.
We’ve only been pumping out co2 for a hundred or two years. We can’t keep doing that and expect the old balance to hold up.
Because they’re only alive and growing till they die and rot. Sometimes trees do both at the same time, rot from the inside out. You can’t just plant trees for carbon capture, you also need to deal with how to permanently sequester the carbon.
But you need to plant that every year in perpetuity, while still burying the logs so decomposition doesn’t release the co2 again.
The video explains it pretty well. It’s very information dense. But it’s how much it costs to minimize carbon emissions by various methods depending on how many giga tones co2 we are currently emitting.
Who is we? Russia? Are you saying the petrol state Russia is less responsible for global warming than European countries? And how are you counting China, including them as settled from Europe somehow?
