Of these CO2 alone accounts for 60 per cent share.

It is being increasingly realized that the forests play a critical role in global carbon cycle and after significant potential to capture carbon and thus could play important role in climate change mitigation.

The distinguished climate scientist James E Hansen from NASA along with an interdisciplinary group of nine renowned scientists have put in a recent research paper titled 'Target Atmospheric CO : Where Should 2 Humanity Aim?'.They have issued a re-assessment of earlier climate change predictions.
