Including 17 closely related terms such as gas emissions, emissions, and term carbon.
… of which must be undertaken if runaway warming is to be avoided: Cutting emissions / decarbonisation – this is called climate change mitigation; Adapting to the physical changes of climate change – climate change adaptation; and Actively removing greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere (such as by tree- planting or direct capture of flue gases) – carbon sequestration. Fife…
… the atmosphere and storing it in long term carbon sinks so that it will not contribute to global warming in the medium term. The latest science suggests that it may not actually be possible to meet Fife Council’s climate change targets without massive carbon sequestration efforts because Fife has simply been too slow to cut emissions. This workstream will involve flue gas capture, reforestation projects…
… change targets in the world and the newly approved Climate Change (Emissions Reduction Targets) (Scotland) Act, 2019 which was enacted at the end of October 201920 commits Scotland to a new target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2045, and a 75% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 (compared to a 1990 baseline). In doing so, Scotland will become one of the first countries in the world…
