But if so, the findings could have significant implications for global #ClimateModels, carbon budgets and climate policies.
“This paper is the first time that this #TippingPoint of a switch from a #CarbonSink to a carbon source in tropical rainforests has been identified clearly – not just for one year but for 20 years,” said #ProfDavidKaroly , an emeritus professor at the #UniversityOfMelbourne and an expert in #ClimateChange science.
