THE CARBON COMMUNITY BLOG

Humanity's Mortality Moment.

This video is essential viewing for those that care about the environment - it summarizes why 11,000 scientists are so worried about global heating, and why things are getting more urgent. There are some key lessons in this for us all:

  • Stop burning stuff, especially biomass for energy generation which gives a false illusion of sustainability
  • Reduce the amount of carbon we are emitting
  • Capture carbon - trees and forests are our best bet
  • Forests can capture double the amount of carbon if managed correctly, this means focusing on soil as much as tree carbon, and creating biodiversity
  • We need to do this now - with urgency.
