A new USDA report finds forests could become a major emitter of carbon by 2070
"The report predicts that the ability of forests to absorb carbon will start plummeting after 2025 and that #forests could emit up to 100 million metric tons of carbon a year as their #emissions from decaying trees exceed their carbon absorption. Forests could become a “substantial carbon source” by 2070, the USDA report says."
