[Terrapreta] CO2 rising

[Brian Hans]

Here is one study on the topic...not done yet. http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/SC0706/S00051.htm
   
  I believe the specific study Code is refering to is on Biopact
  http://biopact.com/2006/11/idea-that-forests-are-carbon-sinks-no.html

  Interesting way of looking at things. IMO...we dont know much about the planet we live on. Even tho we think we do...we dont...

  I read an article sometime in the past year or so that described how
forest can become net carbon emitters as global temperatures rise. I
have been unable to find the article again, but IIRC they were
describing research done on European forests.

Unfortunately I don't recall the description of how the rising
temperatures caused the forests to become net emitters.

Anyone familiar with this idea?
