Since these emissions occur upstream in a company's supply chain (e.g. land - use change associated with the procurement of raw materials) or downstream in customer's use products (e.g. the energy used when a consumer plugs in a company's phone or refrigerates their food products), they are difficult to tackle in the short - term.

However, Helbig et al. [2017], using a set of nested paired eddy covariance flux towers in a boreal forest - wetland landscape, point to the increasing importance of warming temperatures on ecosystem respiration potentially overwhelming enhanced productivity occurring from land cover change under projected anthropogenic trends.

If indeed, as has been suggested by Houghton, some 50 % of sequestration of CO2 (I usually see 20 - 30 %) can occur via land use change then it should be a higher level of concentration as it seems to be politically less of a hurdle.

After reading «Landscapes and Cycles: an Environmentalist's Journey to Climate Skepticism», I am convinced that Jim Steele's view of climate change caused by multiple factors, including naturally occurring cycles between warmth and cold in the world's oceans and changes in land use on a local scale, are a much more realistic explanation than the prevailing hypothesis.

--(i) In the event of a positive determination under subparagraph (C), the Administrator and the Secretary of Agriculture shall, after notice and an opportunity for public comment, by the same date jointly establish a methodology (or methodologies) to calculate greenhouse gas emissions from indirect land use changes that are attributable to the production of renewable fuels and that occur outside the country in which feedstocks are grown for purposes of calculating a renewable fuel's lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions to determine whether the fuel meets a definition in paragraph (1) or complies with paragraph (2)(A)(i).

Carbon Dioxide — Carbon dioxide (or CO2) is a naturally occurring gas as well as a by - product of burning fossil fuels and biomass, or from land - use changes and other industrial processes.

If emission analyses consider empirical data reflecting the progressive degradation that occurs (often over decades) before and independently of agriculture market signals for land use, as well as changes in the frequency and extent of fire in areas that biofuels help bring into more stable market economies, then the resulting carbon emission estimates would be worlds apart.

Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations have increased since the mid-1700s through fossil fuel burning and changes in land use, with more than 80 % of this increase occurring since 1900.
