Report: Land carbon sinks lag while rising temperatures spread disease and threaten incomes
The planet's natural carbon sinks are reaching critical limits, absorbing fewer emissions than expected as decades of climate change has weakened their capacity, a new report warns.
Environmental News Network - Land Carbon Sinks Cannot Keep Up, While Rising Temperatures Spread Disease and Threaten Incomes – Report Warns
The planet’s natural carbon sinks are reaching critical limits, absorbing fewer emissions than expected as decades of climate change has weakened their capacity, a new report warns.
One person dies every minute in the world as a result of rising temperatures, according to research by the University College London (UCL), which says these deaths could be prevented if people acted more responsibly towards the environment. The excessive use of fossil fuels causes toxic air pollution, forest fires and is behind the spread of diseases, writes The Guardian. Climate change is thus taking the lives of millions of people every year.
The planet's natural carbon sinks reach critical limits, absorbing fewer emissions than expected, while decades of climate change have weakened their capacity, warns a new report. Nature-based carbon removal projects are also threatened; climate change further compromises their long-term reliability.
An international team led by researchers from the University of Montpellier, the CNRS, the World Maritime University (WMU) and the University of California has quantified the past, present and future impact of fishing and climate change on the ability of species of commercial interest (fish and other macro-invertebrates) to sequester carbon at the bottom...
Land and ocean carbon sinks weakening, and other new insights from climate science
29/10/2025 – The planet’s natural carbon sinks are reaching critical limits, absorbing fewer emissions than expected as climate change is weakening their capacity according to the 2025 edition of “10 New Insights in Climate Science”. The report warns global climate targets could face major setbacks as forests, soils, and the oceans lose strength as carbon sinks. The annual update is authored by 70 leading scientists from 21 countries, including …
