Soil Carbon sequestration limited in mitigating fossil fuel emissions say scientists
Submitted by takver on Sun, 02/06/2013 - 11:28pmRebuilding soils through carbon sequestration and mitigating fossil fuel emissions sounds like a win-win solution all around. A reason the Liberal and National Parties in Australia adopted it as a major part of their 2010 Direct Action climate change policy. But a new international study by Australian and UK scientists said soil carbon programs while important, have many limitations, and provide too much false hope in mitigating emissions from fossil fuels.
