摘要: C limate change, caused by anthropogenic emissions through fossil fuel combustion and land use conversion including deforestation, is a major global issue of the twenty-first century. Estimates for 2014 include about 10 Pg (11 billion tn) carbon (C) ~1 (1 from deforestation conversion. Cumulative dioxide (CO2) period 144 years 1870 to estimated at 545 ± 55 (600 61 tn C; 2,000 200 CO2 [2,200 220 CO2]), 75% 25% change (Le Quere et al. 2014). Agricultural activities contribute, both directly indirectly, 30% total (IPCC Therefore, agriculture must be integral any agenda mitigate climate change. National commitments made thus far reduce gaseous may allow temperatures increase 3°C (5.4°F) 2100 (“How much warming” 2015), which exceeds 2°C (3.6°F) limit accepted Group Eight (G-8) nations as per L'Aquila Accord in 2009 (Reuters 2009). there an urgent need…
