The good news is that it looks like global warming isn’t going to plunge the world into drought after all. The bad news is that everything changes, and all changes are evidence and/or a cause of the Climate Crisis. Now we learn that freshwater lakes are a menace — because they are both.
From ScienceAlert:
A new study has revealed that small lakes on Earth have expanded considerably over the last four decades – a worrying development, considering the amount of greenhouse gases freshwater reservoirs emit.
Life produces CO2. Lakes are rife with life:
Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and other gasses are constantly produced from lakes, because of the bacteria and fungi feeding at the bottom of the water, snacking on dead plants and animals that have drifted down to the lake floor.
The CO2 emitted helps plants to grow, producing more life, which results in more CO2. This vicious cycle can only end in planetary doom. You can see why Democrats are anti-life.
In total, this lake spread equates to an annual increase of carbon emissions in the region of 4.8 teragrams (or trillion grams) of CO2 – which to continue the country comparisons equals the increase in CO2 emitted by the whole of the UK in 2012.
