UK move to increase ethanol biofuel use could lead to increased deforestation

Deforestation impacts climate change more than fossil fuel use, new study finds

The new paper, which is titled, “Are the Impacts of Land Use on Warming Underestimated in Climate Policy?” illustrates the dramatic impact that deforestation has on climate change. In fact, it shows that even if all fossil fuel emissions were somehow eliminated, we would still note a 1.5-degree rise in global warming if the current tropical deforestation rates maintain their current pace through the year 2100.

Part of the reason for this, as the paper’s ...
