Land Use Change Based CO2 Estimates:

There have been claims made that Land Use Changes measured as Annual Net Flux of Carbon to the Atmosphere were a significant source of Anthropogenic CO2, however the following graphs are based upon highly suspect Houghton data, i.e. from IPCC AR4: “Although the two recent satellite-based estimates point to a smaller source than that of Houghton (2003a), it is premature to say that Houghton’s numbers are overestimated.” Houghton’s method of reconstructing Land-Use Based Net Flux of Carbon appears arbitrary and susceptible to bias; i.e. “Rates of land-use change, including clearing for agriculture and harvest of wood, were reconstructed from statistical and historic documents for 9 world regions and used, along with the per ha [hectare] changes in vegetation and soil that result from land management, to calculate the annual flux of carbon between land and atmosphere.” Furthermore Houghton’s findings have varied significantly over time, i.e. in Houghton & Hackler, 2001 they found that, “The estimated global total net flux of carbon from changes in land use increased from 397 Tg of carbon in 1850 to 2187 Tg or 2.2 Pg of carbon in 1989 and then decreased slightly to 2103 Tg or 2.1 Pg of carbon in 1990”. However, by Houghton, R.A. 2008 he found, “The estimated global total net flux of carbon from changes in land use increased from 500.6 Tg C in 1850 to a maximum of 1712.5 Tg C in 1991”.

Fossil fuels like coal and oil supplied us using the essential
resource to generate our own electricity while using use of generators in power plants.
As energy prices increase and lots of homeowners be a little more alert to their carbon footprint, solar panel technology panels have received renewed interest among consumers.
However although many alternative energy options only really suitable for giant scale generation, wind turbines
have become successful when reduced to a size well
suited for home wind power and are creating a substantial contribution for a
household’s electricity requirements.

Hi Magnetic Energy, I am Solar Energy. Nice To Meet You “Again”, Seems Like We Are Heading In The Same Direction LOL. See You Later In The Comment Section Of Another Post. Byeeeee.

CO2 absorbs Infrared Radiation we all agree. What percent of this is emitted back to earth ? The IR Causes the CO2 molecules to vibrate and heat up, but doesn\’t that constitue work and the dissipation of heat ? how does it emit back to a warmer (earth ) surface when heat can only transfer from hot to cold ?

Do climate models use a single CO2 value to populate its global grid (for each vertical level), or do the models use regional CO2 values?
