[FairfieldLife] Re: Carbon Sequestration is the Key
Hey Vajradhatu, Scientists have found out that a raise of one or two degrees in the 'Average Global Temperature' will wipe out most of the tropical Rainforests and turn them into Grasslands or deserts. Computer simulations also show that Evergreen Rainforests are extremely sensitive to rising temperatures. Much of the Genetic diversity, bio-chemical wealth and medicinal potential will be lost if these Rainforests disappear. Raising temperatures will also cause the Permafrost in high latitudes to thaw and thus releasing CO2 and methane trapped in them into the atmosphere. Tropical diseases will also spread into high Latitudes and Altitudes.

Well I was referring to people on the list. While i wish all nations ratified it, the Protocols as ratified by 163 countries is a huge first step towards all nations ratifying it or similar next gneration GHG agreements. And and worlds worst polluter is not exempted from cleaning up their pollution per se. The US refused to ratify it after signing it. China and India have the potential to be the largest, but at .76 and .29 tons of carbon emissions per capita they have a long way to go to gain the black distinction of exceeding the US at 5.37 Does a 5-15 year dealy in China and India agreeing to such accords worth throwing the baby out with the bath water?

This current relevant question is whether new plants going on line NOW going to use the available (and more costly) scrubbers and sequesters. And when energy is priced to reflect its full social and explicit cost, high polluting existing plants will be retired early (too expensive to pay for offsets) and new efficient low pollution ones will be built in their place. And Kyoto is a huge step in that direction. By both requiring reductions to below 1990 levels, AND allowing trading of carbon credits, it helps enable a market price for carbon. Which, next step, can be directly incorporated into the price of gas, as and when oil suppliers are required to pay for carbon offsets. Then we get three great things: 1) carbon emissions are fixed at below 1990 levels 2) a market price is set for carbon and set into the ened-use price of gas and all fuels 3) the above correct price signal will reduce consumption and promote investment energy efficiency at all levels -- builidngs, homes, industrial processses and transporetation. Why people are bashing Kyoto is almost incomprehensible -- other than they know little of what they speak. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~--> Yahoo! Groups gets a make over.

The reduced carbon levels need to be met. After that yes. So what. Stabilizing carbon at acceptable levels is a good thing. And Kyoto is not perfect. Its a first step. However, if one were to imply sequestering of carbon has a fatal flaw because an inital CGC treaty has flaws, the arguement would be so specious, such a sequestering non-sequitar, the laughter would blow alot of atmospheric carbon to the moon. I would be surprised if you raised it. You must be implying otherwise. > > Makes me wonder if, like our national energy policy, this was also > written by the energy industry! > "The argument to use carbon sink credits to halt climate change is > thus based on the faulty assumption that 'carbon is carbon', an > assumption that ignores the different interactions of the carbon with > the atmosphere, depending on where the carbon is stored." And when are you going to make a point of substance? I already quoted that to you. Saying its obvious. And that the group has not cited any reforestation project that has released its carbon. What would that be Vaj? It would mean burning down the forest. Can you cite any CO2 sequestration reforestation projects that ahve been bruned doswn. > > there are further flaws of the > concept once we look more closely at the Kyoto Protocol itself. Duh. Its a compromise agreement. Lots of room for improvement. See above -- do flaws in Kyoto make sequestering CO2 invalid? What a joke. Yahoo!

Unfortunately many other countries must not be > using that technology. Well the scrubbing of traditional pollutants has improved a lot in the last 10 years. While new plants can use such, most coal plants were built prior to this newer technology. And some countries,India and China for example, may not wish to pay the price premium for this newer technology, even for new plants. As far as direct co2 sequestration during coal generation (or gasification) its only being used in smaller-scale and experimental facilities ar this point. But apparently is doing the sequestering (underground) at a "reasonably" low price. If coal and oil were priced to reflect the correct price signal, total social and explicit costs, then such currently available scrubbing of traditional pollutants and sequestering of CO2, would be paid for by consumers / end-users. And retirement of older more polluting plants would be accelerated. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~--> Great things are happening at Yahoo! Groups.

As they appear to be with most climate scientists? (Forests are onlyone offour major sinks.) What is your specific issue with forests? As the SinkWatch group, whose cite is your primary reply against sinks states, "Forests, soils, oceans and the atmosphere all store carbon, which moves among those different carbon pools over time; these four different carbon stores form the active carbon pool. If one of these pools absorbs more carbon than it gives off, it is called a 'sink' in the climate jargon, while a source emits more than it absorbs. Destroying forests - turning them from a sink into a source - will shift the balance within the active carbon pool towards higher concentrations in the atmosphere and lower levels of carbon stored in the world's forests, but it will not increase the overall amount of carbon that interacts with the atmosphere. Another important carbon store are the world's fossil fuel deposits. But this particular carbon store, buried deep inside the earth, is naturally separated from the carbon cycling in the atmosphere, unless humans decide to release it into the atmosphere when we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil or natural gas. Any releases from this pool of carbon will increase the amount of carbon available to the active carbon pool. This is the crucial difference overlooked by those who advocate carbon sink credits to halt climate change." There keypoint is obvious: "Any releases from this pool of carbon will increase the amount of carbon available to the active carbon pool." Not a particularly profound insight. Everyone knows that if you reforest an area, increasing carbon sinks, and then burn the wood, it is no longer a sink. If you leave it as a forest, it remains a carbon sink. Or even if you lumber the wood, its a carbon sink until the wood decays -- perhaps centuries away. While Sinkwatch raises this as apparently their sole concern about the chemical / biological aspects of forest sinks, (and forest sinks are only one of four major classes of sinks,with many sequestration available within eachsink), they raise no examples of the any releases from this forest pools of carbon." Their argument is theoretical, obvious, and not a substantive (or meant to be so, I presume) argument against reforestation. Sink Watch's other concern are the current accounting methods used for carbon credits bought by Kyoto signers to meet their pledges. Of course there are going to be issues, problems and need for refinement in any new accounting and trading system, particularly for new commodity never yet traded in world markets. That hardly implies that the overall approached is fatally flawed. I applaud the role of SinkWatch in monitoring the carbon sequestration industry and credits trading markets for shortcomings and abuses. "The aim of SinksWatch is to track and scrutinize carbon sequestration projects related to the Kyoto Protocol, and to highlight their threats to forests and other ecosystems, to forest peoples as well as to the climate." Thats how problems are fixed and systems grow stronger. Their site, your post's sole cite, allegedly against sinks, provides no flaws of great substance - that is things that cannot be corrected. No fatal flaws. Their major concern appears to be that ONLY sequestration will be used, and energy-efficiency and substitution initiatives will be stopped. Thats not going to happen. Nor is it desirable. We need to "bapears tourn" the candle of atmospheric carbon and global climate change from both ends. So Vaj, do you actually have any issues of substance - those that cannot be corrected, those that are inherently fatal flaws, in either the science or trading aspects of carbon sequestration? Or is it just all squabbling about not liking this or that (correctable) detail? I read your cite. Did you read my 10 + cites?
