How an underground fungal map of the world’s oldest, slowest-growing #rainforest #trees can boost the resilience of Earth’s long-term #carbonSinks
Scientists demonstrate that a single 2,400-year-old tree protects hundreds, if not thousands, of underground fungal species […]

Our calculations of the oceans as a carbon sink may be off by 10-20%. Not good. Must get better. #carbonsinks #oceanclimate #climateaction

Think of ancient forests as carbon vaults. Burning them is like robbing the bank of our future stability to buy a candy bar today. It's not progress; it's planetary sabotage. #CarbonSinks #Ecocide

Stop trying to make carbon capture technology happen! We already have carbon capture...it's called wetlands and forests and oceans. So let's protect them!

CO2 emissions reach an all-time record high in 2025 With no sign of the urgently needed decline in global emissions, the level of CO2 in the atmosphere continues to rise

Are Earth’s natural carbon sinks collapsing? Atmospheric CO2 levels jumping a record 3.5ppm in 2024, while human emissions remained largely constant. This suggests reduced carbon absorption by land and ocean sinks which will accelerate warming.

What was behind the 2024 record jump in atmospheric CO2 concentrations? A massive 20% of human emissions that should have been absorbed by the land and oceans was left in the atmosphere.

Happy #WorldBoglandsDay to everyone protecting wetlands and the species that thrive in them. I'm writing on bogs, vital #CarbonSinks. If they've been drained for other purposes, they can be re-wetted and restored. They should no longer ever be drained. We need them. #ClimateCrisis #ClimateActionNow

Major carbon sink may have vanished for a second year in a row Record heat in 2024 caused ecosystems on land to emit nearly as much carbon dioxide as they took out of the atmosphere

'Dumb' is the understatement of the year, but yes. This idea is incredibly dumb. Do not drain bogs. Plant trees anywhere else. Bogs take up 3% of planet but store twice as much carbon as all the world's forests combined.
