After three years of decline, carbon emissions rose sharply in the US in 2018
- ryanmercer 8y agoSigh. I bet worldwide we end up being 2-3% up. Few more years and we'll be at 40 gigatons a year and IIRC forests only sequester about 2.5 annually, seaweed and kelp less. We're probably producing close to 6x what is currently sequestered annually and losing the capacity for uptake that we have daily by ocean acidification, damage to seaweed and kelp forests, clear-cutting forests etc.
