Permafrost soils in boreal and Arctic ecosystems store almost twice as much carbon as is currently present in the atmosphere. Before this study, we didn’t know how fast that carbon could potentially be released from permafrost, and how this feedback to climate would change over time. Permafrost.

Emission reductions produced by the project are verified by an approved third party and registered with the Climate Action Reserve (Project ID CAR102 ). In addition to the direct benefits of storing carbon, wood products have also been shown to have fewer associated greenhouse gas emissions compared with concrete or steel.

Coal’s share in primary energy in 2017 fell to 27.6%, the lowest since 2004. Even if we decommissioned all the world’s coal plants by 2035, the power sector would still be tracking above a climate-safe trajectory, burning too much unabated gas. OECD demand fell for the fourth year in a row (-4 mtoe). levels below 450 parts per million.

A 2006 study by Wahr and Velicogna using the GRACE satellite indicated that Greenland lost roughly 684 cubic kilometers (164 cubic miles) of ice from April 2004 to April 2006—more than the volume of water in Lake Erie.
