2006 Atmosphere Carbon Dioxide

For the first time, the Arctic Report Card assessed that the Arctic is faltering as a reliable area for storing carbon away from the atmosphere ( Natalie et al., It was its first failing grade after thousands of years holding onto more carbon than released to the atmosphere. in Arc2024 ).

And since 2006, it has been even faster: as high as 4.2 The primary cause of accelerating sea level rise is human activity As people burn fossil fuels and emit heat-trapping gases like carbon dioxide, our atmosphere and our oceans warm up. Since 1993, sea level has risen by an average rate of 3.1

Environmental and atmospheric conditions are perfectly balanced in these locations, leaving trees with only one thing left to compete for – light. Discovered in 2006, Hyperion reaches 115.85 However, more greenhouse gases escaping into the atmosphere could enable Redwoods to grow quicker. Photo by Mike Krejci. metres (380.1

At a time where scientists are trying to figure out how to suck the excess carbon out of our atmosphere, Mother Nature has known how to do it for millions of years. Trees are very efficient at absorbing carbon dioxide. Any energy use entails carbon emissions, some more than others.

Forests are incredibly good at storing carbon, in both soils and plants. When forests burn, that carbon is released into the atmosphere and contributes to greenhouse gases (mostly as carbon dioxide). Normally when a forest regrows after a fire, it’s able to capture that carbon dioxide and store it again.

Replacing these massive carbon sink forests with machinery which continuously pumps vast amounts of carbon dioxide into the Earth’s atmosphere is increasing the rate of global warming.

Assembly Bill 32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, requires CARB to develop and update every five years a scoping plan that describes the approach California will take to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to achieve the goal of reducing emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.
