#Africa now emits more carbon dioxide than it absorbs
The latest data compiled by the Global Change Institute at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg shows that the continent now emits more greenhouse gases than it absorbs.
In only nine years between 2010 and 2019, Africa has turned from being a net carbon sink, to being a net carbon source.
A day trip into the Elbsandsteingebirge. I have come here so often, but there are still new routes to explore. This time over the Bärensteine with amazing views onto many scenic spots, including the Bastei, the Lilienstein and the Königsstein.
A thunderstorm 🌩️ gave a brief respite from the heat and painted a beautiful rainbow over the forest.
At the end, we had a drink in a beergarden above the Elbe. I am happy that I went, even though I felt a cold creeping up on me!
