Congratulations to Russia and China.

You did it! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

USA will never be looked at as a trusted partner and ally in the world ever again, by any sane or decent country. You spent years propping up the idiot occupying the Whitehouse, and it is working.

Northern high latitudes could become a net carbon source below 2 °C global warming
Abstract. Under historical warming, terrestrial ecosystems within the northern high latitudes have been a net carbon sink, providing vital mitigation against anthropogenic emissions of CO2. However, t...

New research reveals how paddy soils host more CO₂-fixing microbes than upland soils, and biochar can reshape their communities!
Using gene markers cbbL & cbbM, scientists tracked autotrophic CO₂ fixation in rice fields, uncovering hotspots in the rhizosphere.
