Climate change math

The results here are saying that there is a range between 4.5 and 40.7 tons of Carbon Dioxide removed per year per hectare during the first 20 years of tree growth. The rate of removal depends on the location and type of forest and the statistic is measured on an area basis rather than a tree basis.Oct 5, 2021

That is only carbon dioxide produced during consumption of solid, liquid, and gas fuels and gas flaring as you stated . Not all greenhouse gas or co2 contributors or what we get from other countries nor is co2 the only one giving us climate change
This may help him
Cheers

Other issue is our forests emit more than they absorb in many areas for the last 20 years

All good points. However, what we get from other countries is not relevant in this project as he is looking to only compare Canada's production vs absorption.
Wouldn't CO2 be the largest portion of what is produced? Or do you believe the other harmful carbon/greenhouse gases would make up the difference of 4.7 times the carbon amount?
The measure to collect the tax is called the CARBON tax.

But is it there so the trees have to handle it and are not doing a good job it seems overall

Just food for thought.

I know for many years the rainforests were the big topic as they were credited for removing a lot carbon and producing a substantial amount of oxygen.
That was the selling point regarding their importance.

Don't get hung up on the name it is all greenhouse gases that are emitted

All of the 'greenhouse gasses'are heavier than air and do not make it into the upper atmosphere to act as a blanket. Only high flying jets like the ones our leaders take everywhere contribute to that effect. As well, stratospheric spraying has been officially admitted as a way to affect the weather.

We seem pretty damn green from where I sit. Doesn't seem like we are contributing at all to the problem, yet the tax will save the world.

We are far from that just under the top 10 worst at number 11 But you sit in the weeds so I understand why all you see is green

If you believe anything from the UNEP ... I have oceanfront property in Arizona to sell.

Pretty sure that ocean front sits on a rain forest in the middle of Arizona

The problem is we do not live under a dome in Canada. Nova Scotia is officially knowing as the exhaust pipe of North America.
The key findings are that locally-created ozone has decreased, and so has the amount of ozone pollutants blown into Nova Scotia from the northeastern United States. The latter finding is especially notable because ozone can be transported long distances and Nova Scotia is considered at the tailpipe of North America.

The study found this "transported" pollution now makes up a greater proportion of the surface ozone, accounting for 45 to 63 per cent of ozone levels in Halifax.😟.
Try as we may, we still have to deal with our neighbours pollution.

Don’t forget that cow poop and farts are the biggest problem, just ask bill gates.

So we should be taxed based on other countries pollution?

I may see green but I would wager your view is brown, so pop your head out.

It would be helpful to know the title of the young fellas research project. Exactly what aspect (s) of climate change will make up the main body of his presentation and what significant statement (s) argument (s) and conclusion (s) is he aiming to present.

I haven't had a chance to talk with him about it yet. He has only sent me a few snippets but I haven't got the whole gist of what he is trying to prove or disprove. He is definitely a free thinker, however, if he is looking for a good mark, going against the leftist narrative will not bode well for him. Many kids regurgitate the BS, get the mark and carry on with their own beliefs without losing the ability to think for themselves.
