While these forgotten gases account for only a small
fraction of total greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation, nitrous oxide is up to 300
times more effective at trapping
heat in the atmosphere when compared to carbon dioxide over a 100 - year
time period.
bearing
in mind that only a small percentage
of earths population have access to electricity, if we enabled all under developed countries
in the world with fossil fuel electricity and
heating systems, we would likely have to cover every sq inch
of farmland
in trees to combat climate change.rather than outright fighting the building
of wind turbines (that
in future
times can be repaired at a
fraction of the impact and pollution
of replacing them) we should be putting pressure on the manufacturers
of these systems and technologies to invest more
in finding green solutions to using the polluting chemicals
in the construction
of turbines.
