The IPCC said that the deep emissions reductions required by 2030 and 2040 “particularly” include methane, the top emission of natural gas production and combustion, which traps 80 times as much heat as carbon dioxide over short timescales. degree centigrade rise in global average temperatures.

The IPCC AR6 report used the most up-to-date estimates from Etminan et al (2016) which are similar but slightly more complicated than the simplified, oft-used formula for CO 2 : RF = 5.35 ln(CO 2 /CO 2 _orig) (seen in Table 6.2 in IPCC TAR).

I think in hindsight that my concerns from 2013 to some extent were supported by the fact that the IPCC organised an Expert Meeting on Communication, Oslo, Norway, 9–10 February 2016. Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is the most important greenhouse gas that we have added to the atmosphere, however, some of it has been absorbed by land and oceans.

This is because the new trees will not have the time to grow and capture the carbon dioxide emitted during biomass combustion, thus preventing the process from being carbon neutral. On top of that, most of Europe’s wood supply comes from the US and Canada, which implies an additional carbon footprint due to transportation.
