Carbon cycle ‘flaw’ can overshoot, plunging Earth into potential Ice Age: Study
A new study has provided fresh insights into how Earth recycles its carbon.
Rock weathering acts as the slow, reliable mechanism that stabilizes Earth’s climate. The easy explanation is that rain, rocks, and carbon burial keep the climate in check, but new research shows this account may be inco
The University of California, Riverside, team discusses a new perspective on Earth’s climate regulation, suggesting that the rock weathering system is not the whole story.
The researchers propose that a second system involving ocean carbon burial is also at play, which could lead to rapid, extreme cooling and potentially trigger ice ages.
