RELEASE: Global Civil Society Opposes Charred Earth Policy

Posted on April 6, 2009August 25, 2021 By Dr. Glen Barry 9 Comments on RELEASE: Global Civil Society Opposes Charred Earth Policy

147 organisations from 44 countries warn against 'biochar' (large-scale charcoal) as a dangerous new false solution to climate change
TAKE ACTION: Tell Leading Climate Scientists, Industrialists and Negotiators to Stop Promoting Industrial Scale Biochar
By Earth's Newsdesk, a project of EcoInternet
CONTACT: Dr. Glen Barry, glenbarry@ecologicalinternet.org
(Earth) — An international declaration was today launched by 147 organisations, including EcoInternet, opposing the growing hype and political support for Biochar. The groups signing the declaration “strongly oppose the inclusion of soils in carbon trade and offset mechanisms, including in the Clean Development Mechanism." The groups further assert that “the 'biochar' initiative fails to address the root causes of climate change." [1]
Those issuing this warning range from small farmers associations and forest protection groups to international environmental networks and human rights advocates. Further organizations are being invited to sign the declaration. EcoInternet has independently organized a protest alert questioning whether enough “waste biomass” and “degraded and marginal” lands exist to carry out geoengineering of the Earth's land and climate at the scale proposed, and without intensifying industrial tree plantations and all their attendant problems.
