Africa/Climate Change – African rainforests slow climate change despite record heat and droughts (WEF)

  • A recent study has shown Africa’s rainforests to be more resilient as carbon sinks than those in the Amazon, even when exposed to high temperatures.
  • These forests continued to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, despite experiencing drought and a warming of 0.92 degrees Celsius.
  • Similar conditions in rainforests in the Amazon and Southeast Asia had led to a temporary halting or reversal of carbon dioxide absorption.
