Challenging the Narrative: Exploring Natural Factors Contributing to the Rise in Atmospheric CO2
Human ImpactCarbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas that plays a critical role in regulating the Earth’s climate. Over the past century, atmospheric concentrations of CO2 have increased significantly, from about 280 parts per million (ppm) in the pre-industrial era to over 410 ppm today. While human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels and

The Climate Conundrum: Assessing the Impact of Boreal Forest Deforestation on our Planet
Human ImpactBoreal forests, also known as taiga, are the largest terrestrial biome on Earth, covering 15% of the planet’s land surface. They are characterized by vast expanses of coniferous trees, such as spruce, pine, and fir, and are found in the northern hemisphere, primarily in Canada, Russia, and Scandinavia. However, these forests are threatened by deforestation,
