Environmental and atmospheric conditions are perfectly balanced in these locations, leaving trees with only one thing left to compete for – light. However, more greenhouse gases escaping into the atmosphere could enable Redwoods to grow quicker. Increasing its concentration in the atmosphere could result in better growth.

The environmental issue addressed here is that certain agricultural practices, like converting forests to ranchland, release large amounts of carbon into the atmosphere and severely disrupt ecosystems. Additionally, approximately 13% of the world’s net carbon dioxide. 20% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions.

Worldwide, nature’s power to breathe, filter and store carbon dioxide can provide more than 1/3 of emissions reductions needed to meet the Paris Agreement target, according to a pioneering study by The Nature Conservancy and partners. Trees capture and store carbon dioxide (CO2) through the process of photosynthesis.

A second bill would require annual reporting of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by a covered firm’s operations. It would require standardized reporting of GHG emissions (primarily carbon dioxide and methane) by firms doing business in California with total annual revenues more than $1 billion. [19]
