Without the considerable carbon absorption capacity of our lands (and oceans), we’d currently have much more CO 2 in the atmosphere and an accelerated timeline of warming. In North America, the land carbon sink between 2004 and 2013 offset roughly 39% of fossil fuel emissions , but varied substantially year to year.

32] Part of the reason the planet is greening stems from greater carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and greater planetary warming. [33] 33] Scientists find that plants grow faster as a result of higher carbon dioxide concentrations. 63] This difference in emissions comes down to diet and lifespan. 2] James C.

Perhaps the most consequential of all Paxton’s actions, however, is a lawsuit he and AGs from 19 other states, including Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina, filed in 2021 challenging the EPA’s authority to curb power plant carbon emissions. Landry’s deep ties to the oil and gas industry predate his time as Louisiana’s AG.
