The researchers used predictive population models coupled with advanced mapping techniques to estimate the climate damage wild pigs are causing across five continents. Since soil contains nearly three times as much carbon than in the atmosphere, even a small fraction of carbon emitted from soil has the potential to accelerate climate change.

Methane hydrate can form in Arctic and marine environments. Methane hydrates are 3D ice-lattice structures with natural gas locked inside, and are found both onshore and offshore—including under the Arctic permafrost and in ocean sediments along nearly every continental shelf in the world.

Plants consume carbon dioxide—a significant greenhouse gas—in the process of photosynthesis. The researchers concluded that models of climate change may be underestimating how much water is likely to run off the land and back into the sea as atmospheric chemistry changes. As plants breathe and perspire they help cool the atmosphere.

They also question whether mandated volumes for biofuels—including advanced biofuels—can be met and whether biofuels are improving the environment or energy security. Legislation giving biofuels preferences on the basis of greenhouse gas benefits should be avoided. Key findings of the report include: Environmental and Health Impacts.
