The Surprising Truth Behind Planting Trees and Climate Change
8:59 | For decades we’ve been planting trees in hopes of reducing carbon pollution. But when it comes to carbon sequestration, have we actually been getting it all backward?

11:42 | We investigate how the planet naturally turns CO2 into stone over long periods of time, and how scientists and engineers are trying to speed up this process in hopes of capturing and storing atmospheric CO2.
4:44 | The Australien Government has made an ad about Carbon Capture and Storage, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.
42:26 | Humanity faces major challenges. Could roots hold the answers? Research shows that roots have the potential to provide food for the world’s population, stop climate change and help extract resources in an environmentally friendly way.
34:28 | Even if we could switch today to entirely renewable energy, it will be necessary to remove trillions of tons of CO2 from the atmosphere.
14:26 | Hemp is an extremely fast growing plant that stores a large amount of carbon. So is it really possible to convert it into graphene and diamond in a sustainable, environmentally friendly way?
28:17 | If we are ever going to return the atmosphere to pre-industrial levels, we have to take out some of the carbon we’ve already put into the sky. Still, carbon capture is a controversial topic and one that many people know very little about.
11:05 | Carbon capture advisor Bas Sudmeijer proposes partnerships between cities that would share the cost and geological resources needed to trap emissions deep in the earth.
9:11 | Do we have the technology – and the intention – to make carbon capture and sequestration a viable option?
13:54 | A growing number of ecologists and land managers are turning to regenerative agriculture as the fastest way to draw CO2 back out of the atmosphere.
25:56 | Oil nation Norway plans to help fight climate change by capturing and storing Europe’s carbon emissions. But this is not without risks.
16:53 | Carbontech is a developing industry dedicated to drawing carbon dioxide out of our atmosphere and locking it up in products, buildings and infrastructure.
15:52 | Jair Bolsonaro took power in Brazil in October 2018. Since that time he has waged a relentless war on one of the most delicate and essential ecosystems on the planet.
40:13 | Sommeren 2019 var præget af billeder af massive skovbrande i Brasilien og Bolivia. Vi debatterer hvordan vi bedst muligt støtter de oprindelige folk i kampen mod brandene.
3:49 | Per Gundersen er haveejer og professor ved Skov, natur og biomasse på Københavns Universitet. Han har formået at optage over 6 tons CO2 i haven og har samtidig intet haveaffald.
18:18 | Carbon Negative is the bigger braver sibling of Carbon Neutral. But with coal still generating 40% of the world’s electricity, and 98% of the world’s vehicles still running internal combustion engines, how will we achieve the goal?
11:07 | Here’s three ways trees really can help us solve climate change, from a guy who wants to plant a TRILLION trees, to scientists hacking biology to make trees even better.
17:01 | What if we took out more greenhouse gases than we put into the atmosphere? This scenario, known as “drawdown,” is our only hope of averting climate disaster, says strategist Chad Frischmann.
10:08 | Let’s talk about team trees a bit, and its implications on climate.
15:13 | Team Trees’ target is to get 20 million new saplings in the ground by January 1st 2020. And it’s just as well, because the European Union (including the United Kingdom!) is busy destroying millions of trees across the south-eastern United States.
50:39 | Will trees save our planet? Trees and forests make the earth and climate livable and stimulate biodiversity. How do we deal with our ancient trees, and what else can we do?
14:00 | It’s time for planetary-scale interventions to combat climate change – and environmentalist Tim Flannery thinks seaweed can help.
3:04 | Peatlands lock in more carbon than forests—and a new mapping effort suggests that the Democratic Republic of Congo’s might be the world’s largest.
13:42 | Biogeochemist Asmeret Asefaw Berhe dives into the science of soil and shares how we could use its awesome carbon-trapping power to offset climate change.
13:48 | Plant geneticist Joanne Chory is working to amplify this special ability: she’s creating plants that can store more carbon, deeper underground, for hundreds of years.
50:15 | I Danmark har ålegræsset været i tilbagegang i de seneste 100 år. Ved at genetablere tabte ålegræsenge kan der lagres mere CO2 i havbunden og dermed mindske frigivelse af CO2 til atmosfæren.
1:57:52 | George Monbiot talks with Natalie Fee about XR, Climate emergency, community, education, youth uprising, mental health, building community, ecology, rewilding, planting trees, carbon off setting, capitalism and lots more!
12:21 | BECCS, or Bio-Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage, is a technology that the IPCC has factored into their climate modelling.
13:40 | Capturing the excess CO2 from our atmosphere will be absolutely critical to our ability to meet the goals of the Paris agreement, but there’ll always be someone who spots an opportunity to make a profit along the way!
6:16 | The question is, can we capture all that carbon before earth becomes too hot for us? Can carbon capture on a massive scale really work?
14:00 | Chemical engineer Jennifer Wilcox previews some amazing technology to scrub carbon from the air, using chemical reactions that capture and reuse CO2 in much the same way trees do … but at a vast scale.
1:10:17 | Professor Daniel Cziczo explains the vital relationship between clouds and climate, and the present options for reducing atmospheric CO2.
7.56 | Al skovafbrænding medfører CO2-udledning og bidrager til forureningen. Træer er med til at holde balancen. De optager CO2 og udleder ilt. Kan man redde verden ved at plante en skov? Magnus Millang gør forsøget.
1:28 | Farveændringerne viser, hvor meget verdens planter betyder for drivhusgasser.
14:25 | Peatlands are habitats with a highly specialized flora and fauna. But peatlands also play an important role in global climate regulation.
16:19 | Filmen handler om hvordan træ og træprodukter gavner klimaet og om hvordan driften af verdens skove og brugen af træ skal indgå i bestræbelserne på at imødekomme de klimaforandringer der forårsages af drivhuseffekten.
