As I have spent some sleepless nights since the latest IPCC report on how Mankind has to halve its carbon emissions by 2030. As we shall see, this is already currently happening, it is the moral thing to do, the best economic choice, and the fastest and easiest way to halve our emissions. A moral imperative.

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. It is estimated that one acre of forest absorbs six tons of carbon dioxide and puts out four tons of oxygen.

Last month, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed new power plant carbon pollution standards that, if strengthened, would go a long way to help meet the Biden administration’s goal of slashing carbon emissions in half from 2005 levels by the end of this decade. EN: First, why are these new standards such a big deal?

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. 9] Christopher D.
