Assuming balance in CO2 emissions vs removals could skew climate targets: SFU research
Changes in climate resulting from carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into the Earth’s atmosphere are not equal to the climate changes from deliberate CO2 removals—and assuming such a balance could lead to different climate outcomes that may skew climate targets, according to new Simon Fraser University-led research.
Amid Troubles for Fossil Fuels, Has the Era of ‘Peak Oil’ Arrived?

Russian Forests are Crucial to Global Climate Mitigation
Russia is the world’s largest forest country. Being home to more than a fifth of forests globally, the country’s forests and forestry have enormous potential to contribute to making a global impact in terms of climate mitigation.
As Climate Warms, a Rearrangement of World’s Plant Life Looms
Some 56 million years ago, just after the Paleocene epoch gave way to the Eocene, the world suddenly warmed.
