The Brazilian Amazon Is Now Releasing More Carbon Dioxide Than It Absorbs

CARL DE SOUZA / AFP via Getty Images By Reading List A recent study published in the journal Nature Climate Change found that the Brazilian Amazon released roughly 20 percent more carbon dioxide than it absorbed during the 2010s. More specifically, the rain forest absorbed 13.9 metric tons of carbon dioxide between 2010 and 2019 but released 16.6 billion metric tons during that same period. (To put that in context, human fossil fuel combustion is believed to produce around 35 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide.)

Did the pandemic stave off climate change? Here s what the science says

comments Shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic caused international lockdowns, a meme surfaced: the words nature is healing overlain on a scene of environmental recovery, perhaps a shot of crystal-clear skies over an oft-polluted city. Whether made seriously or injest, the underlying idea was that as humans were forced to stay indoors and reduce resource consumption, the planet would recover even as humanity reeled from a deadly disease. True stories like wild goats reclaiming a city in Wales and fake ones about dolphins swimming in the canals of Venice circulated the internet. Behind the joke was a real, serious proposition: the notion that humanity, by being forced to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, may have inadvertently been saving ourselves from the impending climate change apocalypse. But was there any truth to this idea?

The window to avoid dangerous global warming is narrowing • Earth com

12-21-2020 By Earth.com staff writer Scientists at McGill University have determined that the threshold for dangerous global warming will likely be crossed between 2027 and 2042. This is a much narrower window than the previous IPCC estimate of between 2020 and 2052.  Using a new method for projecting Earth’s temperature, the researchers have reduced some of the uncertainties surrounding future warming.  The climate models that are used to project future temperatures play an important role in understanding the Earth’s climate. These models are used to incorporate different factors that interact to affect the climate, such as the atmosphere, ocean, ice, and the sun. While climate models are based on our clearest understanding of Earth and its natural processes, there are still many unknowns.
