Earth’s land lost much of their ability to absorb the carbon dioxide humans pumped into the air last year, according to a new study that is causing concern among climate scientists that a crucial damper on climate change underwent an unprecedented deterioration.
Temperatures in 2023 were so high — and the droughts and wildfires that came with them were so severe — that forests in various parts of the world wilted and burned enough to have degraded the ability of the land to lock away carbon dioxide and act as a check on global warming, the study said.
The scientists behind the research, which focuses on 2023, caution that their findings are preliminary. But the work represents a disturbing data point — one that, if it turns into a trend, spells trouble for the planet and the people on it.
“We have to be, of course, careful because it’s just one year,” said Philippe Ciais, a scientist at France’s Laboratory of Climate and Environmental Sciences who co-authored the new research.
But the results, he added, are still “worrying.” If extreme warming continues, society risks losing “the best friend of humanity” in Earth’s land.
Earth’s continents act as what is known as a carbon sink. The carbon dioxide that humans emit through activities such as burning fossil fuels and making cement encourages the growth of plants, which in turn absorb a portion of those greenhouse gases and lock them in wood and soil. Without this help from forests, climate change would be worse than what is already occurring.

Not a word about pollution from India and China.
It’s imperative that cow farts are stopped now!
The mass media thinks if they yell “climate change” a billion times the unwashed masses will buy it.
This is total overkill.
All the ‘green’ virtue signaling activities go up in flames. Who knows, this fire may have been started by an electric car battery.
What about all the volcanoes that are currently erupting and what they are spewing forth?
Temperatures have been going down since 2023.
Enough of us have switched from eating pork, beef and chicken to cockroach milk and cricket protein powder that temperatures are in the 70’s in the middle of march...as far south as Louisiana. In July!
Crisis averted!
Does WARM WEATHER START FIRES?
That’s a good word. OVERKILL
Every thing that is being done by our warlords is overkill, everything.
No, but pushing a burning car into a gulley does.
Climate is just weather but their climate crisis is something they made up and they’ll lie as much as possible to keep the lie going
Forests burn occasionally. That’s what they have been doing since... forever
BS
What forests? The Leftists are cutting them all down for solar farms, which will heat up the atmosphere even more!
>>The scientists behind the research, which focuses on 2023, caution that their findings are preliminary.<<
“Preliminary” is modern science lingo for “preordained.”
AGW Science:
1. Get grant and associated hypothesis
2. Find data to support hypothesis
3. Discard data which refutes hypothesis
4. Publish and declare hypothesis “fact”
5. Apply for new grant
Repeat.
The climate is changing with or without man’s intervention, as it has for millions of years. If our survival is threatened, it is we who must adapt, not the environment.
Oh goody, it’s our daily dose of climate porn.
If man-made climate change was a real threat, they’d be screaming to get more nuclear energy plants online. Since we hear absolutely nothing about that… ever…. I know it’s all BS.
Man allegedly pushed burning car into gully to start massive wildfire
