So yeah, there's a little cheat that we did: we took away the hyper-object of global warming, which is so vast and timeless and slow-moving, and we put in a very concrete event, a comet. This risk increases steeply with rises in global temperature. It is entirely possible the worst case warming scenarios can be averted.

In its comment to DeSmog, the AHDB spokesperson also used GWP* to claim that “methane from UK livestock since 1990 has not caused global warming”. Several of these arguments reference the idea that grazing livestock can help maintain healthy soils which can store carbon.

A small metal platform at the top, 48 metres above the floor of a peatland rainforest reserve, provides a unique, 360-degree vantage point to witness one of the most biodiverse, carbon-rich habitats left on Earth. In fact, peatland contains up to 50 per cent carbon content, compared to the two per cent typically found in mineral soil.

While Moomaw lauds intensifying efforts to plant billions of young trees, he says that preserving existing mature forests will have an even more profound effect on slowing global warming in the coming decades, since immature trees sequester far less CO2 than older ones. Even older forests continue to accumulate carbon in the soils.
