Inquiry into The Kyoto Protocol

One is that it is a global process, two is that there are differential responsibilities among those who produce emissions and can afford to control them, and the third thing is avoiding unnecessary expense – which is what t ...

IPCC estimates for emissions from land
... For the period of 2000-2006 Canadell et al. (2007) give a first estimate what the most recent emissions from land-use change are. They give a number of 1.5 PgC/a (≈16% from 9.1 PgC/a (total anthropogenic emissions), Table 1, p. 18867). But it has to be remembered that those estimates are not IPCC es ...
