Entre as partes do nosso planeta mudando mais rapidamente estão as paisagens mais frias próximas ao Polo Norte, logo ao sul do Ártico. Essa região está se aquecendo de duas a quatro vezes mais rápido do que a média global. O permafrost - o solo congelado sob essas florestas boreais e planícies sem árvores, ou "tundra" - está descongelando rapidamente. Isso é um problema, porque o permafrost contém enormes quantidades de carbono, mais do que o dobro do carbono já presente na atmosfera.

As atividades humanas são responsáveis por dois terços de toda a liberação de metano para a atmosfera, e esforços internacionais para estancar o fluxo ainda não estão dando resultado A meta do Compromisso Global de Metano assinada por diversos países em 2021 é ousada: reduzir as emissões do gás em 30% até o final da década. Isso nos dará um tempo vital para trabalhar na redução das emissões de dióxido de carbono.

Microbiomes are foundational components of the environment that provide essential services relating to food security, carbon sequestration, human health, and the overall well-being of ecosystems. Microbiota exert their effects primarily through complex interactions at interfaces with their plant, animal, and human hosts, as well as within the soil environment.

The study was conducted at Point Cloates (22.7212° S, 113.6775° E) on Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia (Fig. 1A) between the 15th and 24th of May 2018. It involved a coordinated effort between researchers on a 34.9 m research vessel (RV Solander) and a team of snorkellers on a 8.4 m charter vessel (Osso Blu). A spotter plane was used to locate whale sharks at the surface and to guide the charter vessel towards the spotted sharks.

Global emissions of fossil carbon dioxide (CO₂), in yet another year of growth, will increase by 1.1% in 2023. These emissions will hit a record 36.8 billion tonnes. That’s the finding of the Global Carbon Project’s 18th annual report card on the state of the global carbon budget, which we released today. Fossil CO₂ includes emissions from the combustion and use of fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) and cement production.
