Times, Sunday Times But most of these are mineral-based, and will have a higher carbon content than wood and biomass fuels. Times, Sunday Times Furthermore, even if it were practicable, surely it would be better to preserve areas of forest with the highest biodiversity value, rather than on the basis of carbon content alone. Times, Sunday Times Steroids produced naturally in the body have a heavier carbon content than synthetic substances but, until now, it has been difficult to measure the different carbon ratios. Times, Sunday Times Deforestation accounts for around 20 per cent of global carbon emissions, greater than the world's entire transport system. Times, Sunday Times I was looking at maybe one tenth of 1 per cent of all our energy production and an even smaller impact on carbon emissions. Times, Sunday Times We knew that switching off lights would save money and carbon emissions and give us a better view of the night sky.
