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.

He's wrong as usual. We need to teach the trees how to use carbon
dioxide and make oxygen. I propose the Tree Corps, a group of
volunteer Americans who could go to the Amazon and teach them.

The trees are never Trumpers and are just trying to make him look bad.

Being a New Yorker, he thinks Central Park is a forest. He does have a
point, however poorly expressed. Rather than ****ing away lives halfway
around the world rebooting the CCC would be an excellent idea.

They also need all of that sugar cane for ethanol. They also burn the
cane before they harvest it.

I like that idea. The exercise would be good for all of the fat
women I see walking around. Looking at God's creation instead of a
television or computer screen would be good for the soul.

Since I eat a Big Mac about once or twice a decade, I would have no
problem giving them up.

Not at all...hit the nail on the head.

Reducing the understory built up by almost 100 years of intensive
prevention of controlled burns and extinguishing everything as quickly
as possible would go a long way towards mitigating consequences. Plus
the continuing encroachment of building in forested areas just enhances
the damage when do occur.

"... Through aggressive wildfire prevention and suppression that include
and extend beyond Smokey Bear, the U.S. state has transformed fuel
loads, species compositions, and ecosystem dynamics across North
America. One result is a heightened propensity toward catastrophic
wildfire, requiring additional and sustained state intervention to
maintain an imposed and unstable equilibrium."
