And just as increased algal productivity at sea increases the emission of sulfur gases to the atmosphere, ultimately leading to more and brighter clouds over the world's oceans, so too do CO2 - induced increases in terrestrial plant productivity lead to enhanced emissions of various sulfur gases over land, where they likewise ultimately cool the planet.

[Response: I can't speak to the economic part of the question, but thermodynamically, it'd be easier to capture the CO2 where it's concentrated, say in the emission from an integrated gasification power plant, rather than fighting entropy by unmixing CO2 from the atmosphere.

While all such forecasts are implicitly uncertain, this one helps clarify where to focus efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions; reinforces the importance of resolving questions about how to safely expand, while not stopping, extraction of vast domestic reserves of natural gas; and powerfully challenges proponents of accelerated deployment of today's menu of renewable energy technologies or nuclear power plants to lay out a credible strategy for supplanting coal.

As signs grew that the Senate was in no mood to set up a trading system for curbing carbon dioxide emissions, as I noted how the climate policy debate had circled back lately to the emissions - capping plan for power plants that had been proposed in the 2000 Bush campaign for the presidency, I found myself thinking about the vacuum that's persisted where President Obama should have been on this issue (if he planned to live up to his campaign commitments).

All of this is reason for everyone and his brother, aunt and sister to greatly reduce their own GHG emissions, and to scream bloody murder till every corporation, institution and governmental body they have any influence over to immediately institute policies to rapidly bring down GHG emissions and look at reliable ways of drawing down atmospheric CO2 levels directly (especially replanting grasslands in the north, tree planting toward the equator where albedo change is not an issue).

COTAP's carbon offset projects, which counteract emissions through tree planting, agroforestry and forest protection, are all located in areas where income levels are less than $ 2 per day, and are certified under Plan Vivo, the world's longest - standing voluntary standard for forest carbon.

Agriculture offsets are also being considered by California regulators for eligibility in the state's new regulated market, where GHG emitters like power plants and oil refineries are mandated to reduce emissions.

These include views about climate change, where older adults are less likely to see human activity as a main reason behind global warming, and people's level of support for stricter emission limits for power plants to address climate change.

These flexibility needs are rapidly expanding as a result of numerous industry trends: (a) recognition by policymakers that renewable energy resources are needed to meet long - term emissions reductions goals; (b) customers» increasing desire to voluntarily procure renewable energy or generate electricity on - site; and (c) substantial technological improvements that have driven down the cost of renewable resources to the point where, even before accounting for tax incentives, they are the lowest - cost option for new generating plants in some regions of the country.

These «CCS» systems work by capturing greenhouse gases emitted from a power plant's smokestack and then piping them to empty underground reservoirs, where the emissions are injected for long term storage.

Agriculture offsets are also being considered by California regulators for eligibility in the state's new regulated market, where GHG emitters like power plants and oil refineries are mandated to reduce or offset their emissions starting in 2013.

In September 2006, the Houston Chronicle quoted White saying: «We need to make sure that power plants built for today have minimal emissions and contributions to global warming, the greenhouse gases, where we will see increasing regulation in this country, and in other countries, in the future.»

So if you get in the business of limiting CO2 emissions, of taxing CO2 emissions, of creating a value in CO2 emissions where people trade them in this emissions trading scheme, you go to the coal plants first because of the fact that that's the greatest source — single source — of CO2 that there is.»

Because much of the cost will be realized after the emissions occur, the funds would have to be invested in order to produce resources in the future to compensate or make the best of conditions then; this can be investment in infrastructure (aquaducts and flood water management planning) and such things as R&D for drought / flood resistant crops, efforts to save ecosystems (those parts that will survive the climate change, or otherwise planting trees, etc, where they will do well in the future, or otherwise reducing other stresses so that ecosystems will be more resilient to climate change)(remember that ecosystems provide us with ecosystem services), etc, and / or investment in the economy in general so that more resources will be available in the future to compensate for losses and pay for adaptation.

Where quantified, adding manure or inorganic fertilizer, planting legumes, or incorporating crop residues all resulted in nitrous oxide emissions offsetting 75 — 310 % of the sequestered CO2 (Robertson et al. 2000; Brown et al. 2004; Li et al. 2005).

So about two thirds of the emissions of CO2 are treated like biomass and considered carbon neutral, which many scientists dispute, because these plants are pumping out CO2 now, where in a natural cycle they might take decades to do so.
