What does the peak carbon dioxide emission mean for carbon neutrality?

"The peak of carbon dioxide emission" means that the emission of carbon dioxide no longer increases, but gradually decreases after reaching the peak. "Carbon neutrality" refers to the total amount of carbon dioxide or greenhouse gas emissions directly or indirectly produced by a country, enterprise, product, activity or individual within a certain period of time, which can be offset by afforestation, energy saving and emission reduction, energy saving in buildings, oil saving, coal saving, water saving and electricity saving, so as to realize "zero emission" of carbon dioxide.

Global warming is the result of global climate change caused by human behavior. "Carbon" is a natural resource composed of carbon, such as oil, coal and wood. Carbon is consumed in large quantities, and carbon dioxide, the chief culprit of global warming, is also produced in large quantities. With human activities, global warming is also changing (affecting) people's lifestyles and bringing more and more problems.

In 2002, an ice shelf covering an area of 3,250 square kilometers in Antarctica fell off and melted in 35 days. According to the latest data from NASA, Greenland melts an average of 2,265,438+0 cubic kilometers of ice sheet every year, twice as much as 65,438+0,996.

The means to reduce carbon dioxide emissions is carbon sink, which mainly absorbs and stores carbon dioxide in the air through natural carbon sinks such as soil, forest and ocean. What humans can do is to plant trees; The second is carbon offset. By investing in the development of renewable energy and low-carbon clean technologies, the carbon dioxide emissions of one industry can be reduced to offset the emissions of another industry. The calculation unit of compensation is tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. Once carbon dioxide emissions are completely eliminated, we can enter a net zero-carbon society.
