The transition of the Arctic from a carbon sink to a carbon source is one of the dramatic changes in the Arctic that are documented in NOAA?s 2024 Arctic Report Card . Climatic shifts are forcing plants, wildlife and the people that depend on them to rapidly adapt to a warmer, wetter and less certain world. -------------------------------------- Vision2020 Post: Ted Moffett -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
