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. It is estimated that one acre of forest absorbs six tons of carbon dioxide and puts out four tons of oxygen.

Concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere have risen approximately 47 percent since 1750, mostly from the burning of fossil fuels for energy. Strategies for capturing carbon from fossil fuel power plants, to prevent it from entering the atmosphere, have long lingered on the sidelines. from 1990–2019.

To limit climate change to runaway levels, the report mentions a deadline and a target: in the next 12 years we need to essentially halve global emissions. If renewables are booming and energy efficiency is gaining some traction, greenhouse gases emissions are still growing and the atmospheric concentration of carbon is still rising.

Replacing gasoline with electricity greatly reduces carbon emissions from driving, even when emissions from mining, manufacturing, and generating electricity are included. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). One of the best ways to reduce transportation pollution is by switching to electric.

Wind power offers a similar story, having more than doubled its share of the world’s electricity from 3.5 And again, the United States looks great, doubling wind’s share of US electricity generation from 5 percent in 2015 to 10 percent in 2023, coming in, again, second behind China. percent in 2015 to nearly 8 percent in 2023.

However, the world could avoid the more extreme scenarios in the report if governments sharply reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions. Top Priorities : Conservation; drought and forest management to reduce carbon emissions and prevent wildfires. The memo also notes that one of the main goals of $3.5
