Interesting that a couple of months ago there was an article which stated the exact opposite: > In 2023, the hottest year ever recorded, preliminary findings https://arxiv.org/pdf/2407.12447 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2407.12447 by an international team of researchers show the amount of carbon absorbed by land has temporarily collapsed. The final result was that forest, plants and soil – as a net category – absorbed almost no carbon. > “We’re seeing cracks in the resilience of the Earth’s systems. We’re seeing massive cracks on land – terrestrial ecosystems are losing their carbon store and carbon uptake capacity, but the oceans are also showing signs of instability,” Johan Rockström, director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, told an event at New York Climate Week in September. > “Nature has so far balanced our abuse. This is coming to an end,” he said. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/oct/14/nature-carbon-sink-collapse-global-heating-models-emissions-targets-evidence-aoe https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/oct/14/nature-c...
