      <b>Scientists have long feared this ‘feedback’ to the climate
        system. Now they say it’s happening</b></a><br>
    <blockquote><font size="-1">Chris Mooney, Washington Post ....That
        feedback involves the planet’s soils, which are a massive
        repository of carbon due to the plants and roots that have grown
        and died in them, in many cases over vast time periods (plants
        pull in carbon from the air through photosynthesis and use it to
        fuel their growth). It has long been feared that as warming
        increases, the microorganisms living in these soils would
        respond by very naturally upping their rate of respiration, a
        process that in turn releases carbon dioxide or methane, leading
        greenhouse gases.....<br>
        ...Crowther argues that until now, the science community has
        often left this potential carbon feedback from planetary soils
        out of its calculations because it wasn’t well enough
        understood. "The entire magnitude of this feedback was removed
        from several of the earth system models, the models that inform
        [the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change],
        because of its massive uncertainty," he says. ... The study
        gives "strong support to the hypothesis that soils will release
        a substantial amount of carbon in response to rising air
        temperatures,"... <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

        is the most dangerous time for our planet  Stephen Hawking</a></b><br>
    <blockquote> <font size="-1">...So the recent apparent rejection of
        the elites in both America and Britain is surely aimed at me, as
        much as anyone. Whatever we might think about the decision by
        the British electorate to reject membership of the European
        Union and by the American public to embrace Donald Trump as
        their next president, there is no doubt in the minds of
        commentators that this was a cry of anger by people who felt
        they had been abandoned by their leaders....</font><br>
      <font size="-1">What matters now, far more than the choices made
        by these two electorates, is how the elites react. Should we, in
        turn, reject these votes as outpourings of crude populism that
        fail to take account of the facts, and attempt to circumvent or
        circumscribe the choices that they represent? I would argue that
        this would be a terrible mistake...</font><br>
      <font size="-1">For me, the really concerning aspect of this is
        that now, more than at any time in our history, our species
        needs to work together. We face awesome environmental
        challenges: climate change, food production, overpopulation, the
        decimation of other species, epidemic disease, acidification of
        the oceans....</font><br>
      <font size="-1">Together, they are a reminder that we are at the
        most dangerous moment in the development of humanity. We now
        have the technology to destroy the planet on which we live, but
        have not yet developed the ability to escape it. Perhaps in a
        few hundred years, we will have established human colonies amid
        the stars, but right now we only have one planet, and we need to
        work together to protect it.   <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
