Climate change increases sources of carbon and CO2 sinks
The carbon dioxide budget of ecosystems in high-latitude regions may be altered by accelerated warming, shifts in the hydrological cycle, and increasing levels of atmospheric CO2. In what is likely the first long-term investigation of CO2 fluxes in northern forests situated on permafrost, a research group led by Osaka Metropolitan University has discovered that climate

For part 1, go here.Last year offered perhaps the clearest warning we've ever received that we need to stop polluting the atmosphere with carbon dioxide and other climate-altering
Why Was Earth’s Climate so Warm and Weird in 2023? — Part 1
By now, you probably know that 2023 was the warmest year on record. Climatically speaking, it was also arguably one of the weirdest. By early summer, it became obvious that something quite unusual was happening. In June, New York and other major cities were smothered by a toxic blanket of smoke from huge Canadian wildfires
