- Title
The "4p1000" initiative: A new name should be adopted.
- Authors
Baveye, Philippe C.; White, Robert E.
- Abstract
In particular, in a very informative and likely useful table, they list the numerous practical questions that are still unanswered at this point and will require significant research before soil carbon sequestration can be viewed as a serious contender to contain climate change. If this carbon level was increased by 0.4%, or 4‰ per year, in the top 30-40 cm of soils, the annual increase in carbon dioxide (CO SB 2 sb ) in the atmosphere would be stopped." It could be called something like "the 4p1000 aspiration", which clearly indicates that what is being proposed is still at the conceptual stage and offers no guarantee that it can be implemented, or else something like "the soil carbon sequestration initiative", which emphasizes a process that so far is backed by virtually unanimous support, without unduly targeting a goal that evidence shows is utterly unrealistic in the very few years we have left to mitigate climate change.
