UnverifiedThe organic carbon stored in permafrost far exceeds the carbon currently in the atmosphere; the carbon stored in Northern Hemisphere permafrost regions is about twice the carbon content of the atmosphere.71% similarUnverifiedN₂O is a greenhouse gas nearly 300 times more potent than CO₂, and typically less than 50% of the nitrogen fertilizer applied globally each year is absorbed and utilized by crops.66% similarUnverifiedA 2022 study by a Stanford University team published in Environmental Science & Technology found that methane leakage from gas stoves in U.S. homes while turned off is equivalent to the greenhouse effect of approximately 500,000 cars per year.65% similarUnverified航空碳排放存在辐射强迫效应，高空飞行产生的氮氧化物和凝结尾迹使实际气候影响系数约为排放CO₂的2至4倍64% similarUnverifiedThe return pathway relies on large-scale deployment of carbon removal technologies such as Direct Air Capture (DAC) and Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS).61% similar
