Nearly all of the discussion is about reducing future emissions – next to none is about dealing with the fact that we already have too much CO2 up there in the atmosphere and how to get it back out of circulation. We have been sending out the following for the past 18 months or so and are now starting to get some traction. There are 2 critical aspects to addressing global warming and reversing desertification. 1 – reduce future emissions – for this TECHNOLOGY is absolutely essential. 2 – absorb the current excess legacy loadings already in circulation – for this BIOLOGY is absolutely essential. The simple truth is that probably half of the current problem has been directly caused by inappropriate human management of our land. Changing this management can have an immediate impact as the presentation linked to below shows. There is growing concern for significant action within the next 18 months to avoid catastrophic climate change. Please take a few minutes and look through the presentation on Soil Carbon. Very few people are aware of Soil Carbon and the critical role it can play in helping to reverse the impacts of global warming. Did you know that just a 1% change in soil organic matter across just one-quarter of the World’s land area could sequester 300 billion tonnes of physical CO2? Recent Australian studies have shown that a 1% change can occur within a few years – and in fact up to 4% changes were measured in some areas. The management changes required to achieve these increases are very readily implemented. I hope you find the attached presentation of interest. There are Spanish, Mexican, Italian, English, Portuguese, Japanese and German versions on our website. http://www.soilcarbon.com.au/case_studies/index.html Boosting soil organic matter levels is one of the only real ways to deal with the existing excess legacy load of carbon dioxide currently in the atmosphere.

Thanks for the addition on the blogroll. There is this event called lights out happening in Shanghai and Beijing. You can cover it too. I will be covering my event at my blog.
