🌍 Climate Alert! 🌱 Scientists from Tufts University have unveiled a critical yet overlooked aspect of climate change: our soil. Acting as a massive carbon reservoir, holding 80% of Earth's carbon, soil becomes a significant source of greenhouse gases as it cracks and breaks down during droughts. This process, largely unaccounted for in climate models, could amplify climate change effects beyond current predictions. It's not just about emissions from cars or industries; the ground beneath us plays a pivotal role too. As droughts worsen, the release of carbon dioxide and other gases from the soil could accelerate, pushing us towards tipping points with severe and permanent climate shifts. Time to rethink sustainability and land use to protect our planet's future! 🌿 #ClimateCrisis #StopFossilFuels #JustStopOil #OilyMoneyOut #RenewableEnergy #SustainableFuture #ClimateAction
