Milk, in turn, has high greenhouse gas emissions because of the methane produced by cows’ digestive systems. We can damage the stability of the atmosphere on both sides of the equation – by emitting too many greenhouse gases, or by reducing the earth’s CO2-absorbing capacity (for example, by chopping down rainforests).

The social cost of carbon is an economic tool used to determine how much the cost is, in dollars, of emitting another ton of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. As carbon dioxide builds up in the atmosphere, it also traps heat surrounding the planet. Additionally, the war in Afghanistan caused mass deforestation, and U.S.

Methane is a greenhouse gas that has more heat-trapping power than CO2, although it also clears out of the atmosphere much faster than does CO2. The deforestation accord is especially encouraging because it has so many side benefits. The companies involved also pledged to cut their emissions as part of this initiative.

A quick reminder of what net zero is: it’s the balance point at which a country, business or organisation absorbs as much greenhouse gases as it produces. On side B we all have all the carbon removed from the atmosphere by forests, soil and wetlands. At that point, the net effect on the climate is zero. You are carbon neutral.
