New Research Shows Soil Respiration And Temperature Drive CO2 Change, Not Humans

“…we conclude that changes in plant decomposition and [soil respiration] due to global temperatures primarily control global CO2 cycles.” − Nishioka, 2026 CO2 changes have been observed to lag temperature changes (warming) via soil respiration since 1979 (r = 0.74). The consistent uni-directionality is T→CO2. Anthropogenic CO2 accounts for 4% of the carbon cycle and […]
