Abstract

CO2 emission to the atmosphere by the use of fossil fuels is estimated at around 8.7Gton-C/year. On the other hand, afforestation can reduce the CO2 at the rate of 5.37ton-C/ha/year. .Hence if 1.6 G ha (160,000 km2) is newly afforested, all the CO2 emission by the use of fossil fuels can be fixed. As a result, CO2 emission can be efficiently encountered and it can solve the global warming issue. If 1 ha of afforestation cost is assumed as $1,600, the global warming issue can be solved at a cost approx. 2,560 Billion $ is raised by financial institution using the financial engineering and 1.6G ha is afforested. This created employment for people under poverty and also can increase the food supply. If all of the people becomes rich, war will be lost and war expenditure will become unnecessary.
