Thawing permafrost raised carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

A new study by BECC-members Amelie Lindgren (UGOT), Zhengyao Lu (LU), et al. shows that an unexpectedly large proportion of carbon dioxide emissions after the ice age may have come from thawing permafrost: www.gu.se/en/news/thaw...

Tumbling between denial, rubbles and hope - Lund botanical garden's interactive exhibition of the Broken Greenhouses touched me deeply. Based on the UN's climate scenarios for 2100, created by MBigert and LBergström, involving amongst others my dear BECC colleague matsbjörkman. Really worth a visit!
