A Climate Change Solution Beneath Our Feet - Science and Climate -

@dazinism From the article:
"Soil can potentially store between 1.5 to 5.5 billion tons of carbon a year globally. That’s equivalent to between 5 and 20 billion tons of carbon dioxide. While significant, that’s still just a fraction of the 32 billion tons of carbon dioxide emitted every year from burning fossil fuels."
Every bit counts.
Still, we should be cautious throwing the word "solution" around. It's not usually merited, and, dangerously, it hits the mental snooze button.

I took a range management class in college and it was one of my best classes ever. I now write ecological sci-fi with soil science in it.
