Historical Land Use Has a Major Role on Carbon Cycling

Scientists have discovered that historical land use has a major role on carbon cycling, which means we may need to look to the past to predict the future.

Climate Change May Cause a Drop in High-Ozone Levels

It turns out that climate change may have contributed to a drop in high-ozone levels. Scientists have found that a stronger sea breeze due to warmer soil temperatures caused this drop in the Houston area.

One in Six Species May Become Extinct by 2100 Due to Climate Change

A total of one in six species may become extinct by 2100. Scientists have found for every degree that global temperatures rise, more species will become extinct.

Amazon Rainforest Loss May Drastically Impact Climate Change

Amazon rainforest losses may actually be worsening climate change. Scientists have found that as trees are cut down and removed, the carbon dioxide that's released could have a major impact on our environment.

Plant Roots May Cause More Carbon to Enter Earth's Atmosphere

Although soil has long thought to be a semi-permanent storehouse for ancient carbon, researchers have found that it may just be releasing carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
