New research has shown that saving trees could slow the onset of climate change. According UN's Food and Agriculture Organization, nearly 33 million acres of forestland is felled around the world each year, accounting for approximately 1.5 billion metric tons of carbon to the atmosphere, or 20 percent of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - President George W. Bush said his voluntary plan to cut greenhouse gases is on track, citing a 2006 dip in U.S. carbon dioxide emissions, but environmentalists say the change is a temporary blip that goes against an overall trend.

EPA scientists believed "greenhouse gases," such as carbon dioxide, fail to meet the Clean Air Act's definition of airborne pollutants. Astoundingly, a majority of non-scientists in robes ruled that they did. The Court found that the EPA not only had the authority to regulate emissions but actually carried the legal responsibility to do

So how simple can you make a model that contains the basic greenhouse physics? Pretty simple actually. You need to account for the solar radiation coming in, the longwave radiation coming from the surface, and some absorption/radiation of longwave radiation in the atmosphere. There will be mathematics, but hopefully it won't be too painful.

The project, which adds new meaning to the term "greenhouse gas", is the first in the world. It distributes CO2 from Shell's Pernis refinery outside Rotterdam to 400 greenhouses, saving a large amount of natural gas each year, which is equivalent to 170,000 tonnes of CO2.
