. The Global Carbon Budget, a forecast of the sources of greenhouse-gas emissions and the sinks which absorb it, showed that growth in carbon emissions is slowing . In the early 2000s the rate at which humans produced these pollutants increased by about 3% a year. In the past decade it has fallen to 0.5%.
The second factor concerns emissions due to land-use change. Getting rid of carbon sinks, by cutting down forests foror digging up peatland for fuel, has a big impact on global emissions: a farm absorbs less carbon than does a rainforest. The Global Carbon Project, the outfit that calculates the budget, estimates that deforestation produces about 7 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide each year. Although the pace of deforestation continues unchanged, reforestation elsewhere has stepped up.
Even if thousands factor. Who care
Also stop meat consumption.. it will save the world's a**
Such BS. From where comes this great rise in carbon sinks where deforestation is still a global problem. And sources rising less? They need to dramatically decrease in order to prevent disaster.
Serious question to people who think the world is going to end in the next 10 years due to climate change. Isn’t a little warming and a little more rain a good thing? Wouldn’t that spur on more life? Also has the world always maintained the same temperature or has it fluctuated?
