One of the key things to realise about reducing carbon emissions is we need to be on the negative side of the emissions equation.
I.E. For balance we need to reach a 1-1=0.
To reduce the current glut of carbon in our atmosphere we need to reduce it below balance to say, 1-5=-5. For example, by sequestering 5 times our normal carbon output we can reduce our carbon footprint to balance in about 15 years.
Are governments around the world going to do this? On their current performance I would say "No!"
I would say we are going to have to be the ones who do it ourselves or convince them they are actually going to have to stop talking and get it done.. Labels: carbon sequestration, emission reductions |
