How could we offset 2/3 of fossil fuel emissions by 2100 (a 68% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions)?

"If we phase out fossil fuels and combine it with phasing out animal agriculture over the next 15 years, we could, by the end of the century, effectively reduce the amount of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere back to where it was at the beginning of this century. This is news."

FAQs

Q1: How does carbon farming differ from traditional farming with cattle?

Carbon farming focuses on practices that enhance carbon sequestration and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, whereas traditional cattle farming often contributes to environmental degradation.

Q2: Are there government initiatives supporting the transition to carbon farming?

Many governments are increasingly recognizing the importance of carbon farming and are implementing initiatives, incentives, and subsidies to support farmers in making the transition.

Q3: Can carbon farming be adopted on a small scale or is it suitable for large-scale agriculture?

Carbon farming principles can be adapted to both small and large-scale agriculture. The practices can be tailored based on the specific characteristics of the farming operation.
