It is clear that we need to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from our atmosphere if we want to avoid greatly increased risk of damage from climate change. Aggressively pursuing a program of emissions abatement or mitigation will show results over a timescale of many decades. How do we actively remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to make a bigger difference more quickly?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs one of a two-book report, this volume of \u003ci\u003eClimate Intervention\u003c\/i\u003e discusses CDR, the carbon dioxide removal of greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere and sequestration of it in perpetuity. \u003ci\u003eClimate Intervention: Carbon Dioxide Removal and Reliable Sequestration\u003c\/i\u003e introduces possible CDR approaches and then discusses them in depth. Land management practices, such as low-till agriculture, reforestation and afforestation, ocean iron fertilization, and land-and-ocean-based accelerated weathering, could amplify the rates of processes that are already occurring as part of the natural carbon cycle. Other CDR approaches, such as bioenergy with carbon capture and sequestration, direct air capture and sequestration, and traditional carbon capture and sequestration, seek to capture CO2 from the atmosphere and dispose of it by pumping it underground at high pressure. This book looks at the pros and cons of these options and estimates possible rates of removal and total amounts that might be removed via these methods.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith whatever portfolio of technologies the transition is achieved, eliminating the carbon dioxide emissions from the global energy and transportation systems will pose an enormous technical, economic, and social challenge that will likely take decades of concerted effort to achieve. \u003ci\u003eClimate Intervention: Carbon Dioxide Removal and Reliable Sequestration\u003c\/i\u003e will help to better understand the potential cost and performance of CDR strategies to inform debate and decision making as we work to stabilize and reduce atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e National Research Council,Division on Earth and Life Studies,Ocean Studies Board\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309305292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309305297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.90w x 0.50d","brand":"National Research Council","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447684509951,"sku":"9780309305297","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_36fefac9-2371-405d-b17e-a6ce46fbeb23.jpg?v=1777234114","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/climate-intervention-national-research-council-9780309305297","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
