Tipping point is approaching

The November COP 30 meeting in Brazil is approaching, and scientists have shared extremely concerning news about the impact of climate change.

Firstly, there has been a record-breaking rise in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

This is due to the world's carbon sinks beginning to fail.

A carbon sink is a system that absorbs more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than it releases, acting to regulate the Earth's climate.

Examples include oceans, forests, and soils, which store carbon through processes like photosynthesis.

Carbon sinks are failing due to a combination of deforestation, land-use changes, and climate change impacts like droughts, wildfires, and extreme heat.
