Breaching a “carbon threshold” could lead to mass extinction
Today’s carbon dioxide emissions may trigger a reflex in the carbon cycle with devastating consequences, according to a new MIT study.
news.mit.edu
We're not in the midst of a mass extinction, but we're potentially at the start of one. Fossil CO2 has taken us halfway to the biggest tipping point of all, so I'd like to call myself not a #climateactivist but an #OceanAcidificationActivist.
