Afforestation will hardly dent warming problem: study

AFFORESTATION WILL HARDLY DENT WARMING PROBLEM: STUDY

Schemes to convert croplands or marginal lands to forests will make almost no inroads against global warming this century, a scientific study published on Sunday said. Afforestation is being encouraged under the UN’s Kyoto Protocol climate-change treaty under the theory that forests are “sinks” that soak up carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air through photosynthesis. [...]

Cooling The Planet - Fast Acting Solutions

Our climate is changing. The summer floods of 2010 in Pakistan and fires across Russia already demonstrate society's vulnerability to the current global temperature rise of only 0.8°C.

The latest science tells us that even by meeting our most ambitious emissions reduction targets by 2020, greenhouse gas emissions will be 30% higher than that needed to keep within a 2°C temperature rise.

We now know that reducing CO2 alone will not affect cooling fast enough.

Even with a zero carbon global economy tomorrow, the existing CO2 in the atmosphere will continue to heat the planet for hundreds of years to come, meaning CO2 reductions on their own won't prevent runaway climate change.

We need to cool the planet fast, and here's why.
