🧬 Collapse of carbon sinks in 2023: what is happening? 🌍
Story by Cédric DEPOND • 21h

Full original reading on Techno-Science

Natural carbon sinks are showing worrying signs of weakening. Researchers reveal that the Earth could rapidly lose its ability to absorb carbon.

In 2023, the situation worsened: forests, oceans, and soils are absorbing less carbon dioxide than before. This natural process, essential for limiting global warming, could collapse.
 
Indeed, according to the results of a recent study, the year 2023 saw vegetation absorb only 730 million metric tons (805 million US tons) of carbon, whereas it usually absorbs 2 billion metric tons (2.2 billion US tons) annually. At the same time, CO2 emissions increased by 86% this year compared to 2022, reaching 37.4 billion metric tons (41.2 billion US tons).

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It seems obvious to me.  Carbon sinks are closet Trump supporters. :whistle:

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

How much vegetation has been shaded out by solar farms?

Just curious.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
