The Amazon Is Almost Fully Saturated, And Could Flip to Emitting
Carbon in 15 Years
PATRICK GALEY, AFP5 MAR 2020
The world's tropical forests are rapidly losing their ability to
absorb carbon dioxide from greenhouse gas emissions, with the Amazon
rainforest at risk of turning from carbon sink to source within 15
years, researchers warned Wednesday.
Tropical forests provide humans with medicine, food, shelter and water
and currently account for around half of all terrestrial carbon
absorption.
But they are rapidly getting saturated as manmade emissions continue
to climb year on year.
Forests act as a carbon sink when the amount of carbon retrieved
through photosynthesis outweighs that emitted by tree loss €“ be that
through fire, drought or deforestation.

Why worry about that?Â* According to the alarmist democrats, COVID-2019
will kill us all before 2035.
Ok
