Amazon rainforest now most likely warming Earth’s atmosphere, not cooling it
The very latest scaremongering of global doom statement by 30 unknown scientists, the Amazon is now killing us.
Unknown or peer reviewed research by a group of over 30 scientists suggests that the Amazon Basin may become a net contributor to global warming, not cooling, in the next few years, if it hasn’t already.
The Amazon Basin’s profound influence on global climate had previously earned it the illustrious title, ‘the lungs of the Earth,’ but decades of wildfires, subsequent drought, and land clearing, under the umbrella term ‘deforestation,’ have wrought havoc on the region.
According to a recent unknown study, the roughly 7,000,000 sq-km (2,700,000 sq-mile) Amazon Basin is now releasing more heat-trapping ‘greenhouse’ gases than it is storing in its plants and soils, meaning it may have become a net contributor to the warming, not the cooling, of the planet.
In other words, humanity can no longer rely upon the so-called “lungs of the Earth” to clean the air and offset emissions from burning fossil fuels.
We are all doomed or are we? NOT according to NASA which totally debunk these scaremongers with their greener planet observations taken from space.
