1,300 billion tons of industrial carbon emissions during the same time period.”
Previous estimates argued that about 27 percent of man made net carbon emissions were from deforestation whereas the new research estimates that the correct number is just 7 percent.
“Forestry and land use are blamed for being an enormous source of climate change, but they’re not an enormous source. The energy sector is an enormous source, and that’s where we should focus our attention – that and looking for ways to maximize our forests’ role in protecting the environment,” Sohngen said.
Mendelsohn said that the forest could be critical in efforts to solve climate change.
“It is possible to manage the world’s forests to store more carbon than they currently do. Some of this can be stored in near-permanent tropical forests that are simply not cut at all and some can be stored in managed forests,” he said.
“In the long run, forests could also be tapped as a source of bioenergy. If they are burned along with carbon capture and storage, forests can effectively suck carbon out of the atmosphere and help the world reach lower long-run temperature targets.”
