Forests are not as good at absorbing carbon dioxide as we thought. A new study found that trees release more carbon than they take in when the temperature rises above 18°C. This means that global warming could make forests a net source of greenhouse gas emissions instead of a sink.

The ocean is a source of life and a powerful climate regulator. It absorbs heat and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, moderating the global temperature and preventing the runaway greenhouse effect. However, a new study warns that the ocean’s role as a climate buffer is changing due to human activities and that this could have profound consequences for the future of the planet.

A new study shows that past extreme climate warming was caused by tipping points in the carbon cycle. Such tipping points could occur again as Earth’s temperature keeps rising, and they could amplify climate change and its impacts.

“Loss of Earth system resilience during early Eocene transient global warming events “ Science Advances Apr 2023 - Extracted from the paper’s conclusions “ results.. suggest that long-term Paleocene-Eocene warming caused the climate-carbon cycle system to be closer to a threshold but also indicate that the whole Earth system became increasingly susceptible to instabilities. ... In conclusion, the early Paleogene global warming events are crucial for understanding geologically rapid Earth system changes, including the Anthropocene carbon cycle perturbation and global warming. If the reconstructed early Paleogene dynamics are a characteristic Earth system response, then present-day carbon cycle changes might likewise strengthen positive feedbacks from carbon reservoirs such as permafrost, submarine hydrates, or peatlands. It is therefore critical to constrain the impact of these reservoirs to assess their influence on the magnitude of future global warming.”

To illustrate the error inherent in including natural in calculations...

Consider that 1/3 of all come from . svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5054

CO2 drawn down by photosynthesis and stored in plant material is going to return to the atmosphere via decomposition - be it land, stomach, or wetland processes.

Should we consider a developer's plan to destroy a wetland carbon negative because of methane? that would obviously be ridiculous

There is a knee-jerk reaction out there to based on bad facts and faulty reasoning.

Bad facts: drawdown requires technology that doesn't exist and can't scale without massive resource consumption & CO2 emission. The error here is in assuming technology is needed. Nature has a very efficient means of drawdown. We just need to hack the so drawdown by photosynthesis doesn't all return to the atmosphere. and can do that easily.

IPPC report drop today means lots of handwaving about fossil fuels and the impossibility of technological carbon capture, and almost zero attention on the much bigger element of the equation: SOILS. Primarily because people don't understand the long and short nor the human impacts on that cycle.

There's also confusion regarding numbers. I prefer GtC. that's simply carbon. CO2 is one form of carbon. CH4 is another (methane). G is giga, same as billion. t=tonne. 1Gtc =3.7GtCo2.

NEEDS - like yesterday! It is a prime example of solving multiple problems with a single simple low tech solution.

1. it sequesters from the atmosphere - really the plants do that, but that carbon cycles back to the atmosphere via fires & decomposition. Biochar kneecaps the so that 1/3 is converted to a 1000 year stable form stored in the soil which has been denuded of carbon by human use. It is the carbon capture/storage needed for !
