About CO2 Reduction & CO2 Sequestering
CO2 Reduction
CO2 reduction refers to the reduction of CO2 (carbon dioxide). It can refer to either overall reduction into the atmosphere overall or the reduction of the rate at which CO2 emissions continue to increase. There are several ways in which this can be accomplished and the governments of the world's largest nations are in the process of finding ways of accomplishing CO2 reduction in a manner that won't stifle economic progress.
Examples of CO2 reduction efforts include solar and wind-generated power sources, electric/hybrid cars, hydrogen fuel cells, ethanol-based fuels, smart meters, smart grids, etc. The idea behind these technologies are to move us away from CO2 emitting fossil fuels which are currently contributing to climate change and are on track to do so at an ever-increasing rate.
CO2 Sequestering
CO2 sequester as the name suggests, refers to the act of "removing" CO2 from the atmosphere into relative seclusion. Generally, this seclusion refers to carbon sinks such as forests or oceans. The act occurs naturally by way of photosynthesis. Hence, increasing the ratio of carbon sequestering sources (such as plants) to carbon emitting sources (such as automobiles) can result in CO2 reduction.There are currently a number of methods in discussion for carbon sequestering. Everything from planting more trees to other geoengineering techniques such as biochar burial and the use of chemical scrubbers are currently being weighed.
Current issues facing CO2 Reduction & CO2 Sequestering efforts
Economic Impact of CO2 Reduction & CO2 Sequestering
The economic impact of CO2 reduction/sequestering is the cause of constant debate. The United States, European Union, Japan, and other large developed economies are largely dependent on the use of fossil fuels, power plants, and other carbon-emitting sources. Replacing these power sources with more carbon-friendly sources will likely have to occur in a gradual manner if it's to be accomplished without blindsiding these economies.What's more is the increased economic growth from historically undeveloped countries. India alone is home to more than 1 billion people. As the Indian economy grows, so will its CO2 emissions. Likewise, the quality of life will grow in such countries, and the population in general will become accustomed to a lifestyle similar to what developed countries have enjoyed for decades. This will also lead to increased carbon emissions. So aside from the fundamental change that will have to come from the world's developed economies, somehow the world's developed economies will need to be convinced to develop their economies in a manner more consistent with CO2 reduction efforts.
Climate change denial
Similar to the non-acceptance of evolution, there exists an ongoing resistance to the acceptance of human-caused global warming/climate change. However, whereas the former is more related to a perceived conflict in religious belief, the former is more tied to political/economic philosophy. The acceptance of climate change being caused by CO2 emissions leads to the argument for CO2 reduction, which leads to the argument for government regulation and other involvement in the US economy. Increased government stands in stark contrast to what a large portion of Americans believe politically.
As a result of the above, there exists a large, well-funded and highly-organized movement to combat the acceptance of human caused climate change/global warming and a number of superficially impressive arguments against the theory have been disseminated and are often repeated. Combined with a general lack of understanding of the science behind climate change, this has left us with a large rift between the field of climatology (where there exists an overwhelming consensus) and the American population in general. The result is a political pushback in certain sections of the US on politicians who support legislation for such things as cap-and-trade, higher standards on CO2 emissions, and new regulations on fossil fuel burning. And for this reason, the much-needed fundamental shift towards CO2 reduction has been largely constrained.
