"The truth is, we don’t really understand [natural carbon sinks] & we don’t think they’re always going to be with us. What happens if the natural sinks, which [we've] previously relied on, stop working because the climate is changing?” Answer: we are fucked. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Trees and land absorbed almost no CO2 last year. Is nature’s carbon sink failing?

The sudden collapse of carbon sinks was not factored into climate models – and could rapidly accelerate global heating

And we collectively deserve to be fucked.

We get to suffocate while we bring it all down around us. That sounds pretty bad.
