As carbon sinks transforms into carbon sources.

The Amazon forest

"That began to change about 8 years in, however. "We saw a really big decline in biomass, big losses and mortality of the largest trees," said Rowland. This resulted in the loss of approximately 40% of the total weight of the vegetation and the carbon stored within it from the plot. "

Where you still can find trees a millennium old, but also those trees that dies first. If we go from the study.

As for this one?

Possible, but still a very positive spin. And as I state, the worse it gets the bigger those positive spins, and geoengineerings

What to take home from it

" These are less well understood, and the strength of the relationships is weaker. It's very complex."

So we're assuming massive Hydrogen deposits, how deep? Without any proofs that I know about

And we're going to drill down to it? Without knowing when we break through?

Let's see, assuming it exist.

" Hydrogen possesses the NFPA 704's highest rating of four on the flammability scale because it is flammable when mixed even in small amounts with ordinary air. Ignition can occur at a volumetric ratio of hydrogen to air as low as 4% due to the oxygen in the air and the simplicity and chemical properties of the reaction."

It's hard to avoid becoming a ghoul here. Self righteous to the brink. But I'm not. just disgusted.
