The Brazilian Amazon, where dense rainforest was long believed to be absorbing human-caused pollution, has emitted close to one-fifth more carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere than it has stored.

I’m shocked to see that deforestation increases emissions and decreases absorption. Shocked, I tells ya. 

Humans often suck. 

The Amazon didn’t emit the CO2. Human action did.

“Researchers compared the volume of CO2 sunk into the forest to the volumes released by fires or cutting down trees.”
