New Study Reveals Tropical Forests Now Emit Rather Than Absorb CO2

[nothing]

Did ya'll hear about the study that was released earlier this week in the journal Science that states now tropical forests are no longer reducing the CO2 in the atmosphere and replacing it with Oxygen. They are now releasing more CO2 into the atmosphere, just like everything else domesticated on this planet.  Looks like the slide to a human in-hospitable planet is continuing to accelerate in our lifetimes. Yay.
