Assembly Bill 32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, requires CARB to develop and update every five years a scoping plan that describes the approach California will take to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to achieve the goal of reducing emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.

Environmental and atmospheric conditions are perfectly balanced in these locations, leaving trees with only one thing left to compete for – light. Discovered in 2006, Hyperion reaches 115.85 However, more greenhouse gases escaping into the atmosphere could enable Redwoods to grow quicker. Photo by Mike Krejci. metres (380.1

Forests are incredibly good at storing carbon, in both soils and plants. When forests burn, that carbon is released into the atmosphere and contributes to greenhouse gases (mostly as carbon dioxide). Normally when a forest regrows after a fire, it’s able to capture that carbon dioxide and store it again.

When fuels are burned to create energy in a process called combustion, black carbon along with carbon monoxide and other compounds are created because there is not enough oxygen in the atmosphere for the reaction to go to completion. Whenever there are combustion processes, of which there are many in our industrial society (e.g.,

Replacing these massive carbon sink forests with machinery which continuously pumps vast amounts of carbon dioxide into the Earth’s atmosphere is increasing the rate of global warming.

3] California has long led the nation in adoption of environmental rules, including the first motor vehicle emission standards in 1966, energy efficiency standards for appliances in the 1970s, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, and many others. [4] 4] The new corporate climate disclosure bills may well continue that tradition.

At a time where scientists are trying to figure out how to suck the excess carbon out of our atmosphere, Mother Nature has known how to do it for millions of years. Trees are very efficient at absorbing carbon dioxide. Any energy use entails carbon emissions, some more than others.
