Topic Reading-Vol.1045-2/20/2015

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
The Best Technology for Fighting Climate Change? Trees
Planting trees, maintaining forests and improving the soil. That sounds reasonable and agreeable to most of humans, enterprises and governments. These techniques, called Negative Emission Technologies or NETs in short, had been long and widely practiced in human history until recently.
They are the most proven and affordable methods to protect the environment yet have the least ecological risk, a newly released science report says.
However, it warns that there is one thing humans need to do before counting on NETs. Reduce CO2 emissions. That sounds like practicing healthy diet and daily exercise to avoid becoming obese, doesn’t it? Indeed, this “Earth” seems already overweight and needs immediate actions.
Enjoy reading and learning about this latest proposal of the oldest technologies.
