Re: [geo] Report of Negative Emissions seminar
Report bullet points:"Urgent need to increase carbon sequestration in land and forests. With only 200GtCO2 left until the global carbon budget for 1.5°C is blown, it is highly likely that therewill be a need to increase removals of CO2 from the atmosphere to limit warmingto 1.5°C or even 2°C. This could be done through halting deforestation and forestdegradation, restoring degraded forests, and reforesting previously deforested land.These actions would go some way to restoring historically depleted land carbon stocks." GR Why isn't there also an urgent need to increase marine carbon sequestration, which = 70% of the Earth's surface, half the annual C cycle, and the vast majority of C stored on the Earth surface. Ocean C = 16 X land biomass + soil C!? How do we manage atmospheric C by ignoring the ocean? "Forests and land do not offset fossil fuel emissions. Plants, trees and soils removeCO2 from the atmosphere, but this does not offset the release of CO2 when fossil fuelsare burnt. Increasing carbon sequestration in plants, trees and soils repays the landcarbon debt accumulated from historical land use change, but does not compensateon-going emissions. To mitigate climate change we must reduce emissions from thefossil fuel and the land sector, not offset one against the other." GR - Forests and land do offset about 1/4 - 1/3 of fossil fuel emissions, as does the ocean. Great if we can repay the land C debt (how big relative to excess CO2?) AND satisfy growing land based food, fiber and fuel production. Feasibility? Otherwise how/why can we ignore C management potential and food, fiber and fuel production in the ocean?
