Studies and experts emphasize the crucial role of forests in mitigating climate change, with diverse forests being more effective carbon sinks. However, global capitalism's impact on forests poses a threat to a livable climate for humanity. The Amazon's drought, attributed to deforestation, raises concerns about the impact on the global carbon cycle. Restoring natural forests could capture a significant amount of carbon, but deforestation continues to deplete Earth's natural forests annually, contributing to carbon emissions. The impact of forest protection and restoration on carbon storage is contingent on cutting emissions. Policies in Brazil have led to a decrease in Amazon deforestation, highlighting the influence of political decisions on forest preservation.
Forest protection and restoration could help tree store billions of tons of carbon, but the world needs to cut emissions first and foremost https://t.co/Lf57gKotCn
The Amazon’s record-setting drought: how bad will it be? Scientists tell Nature why the rainforest has dried out, and what to expect in the coming months https://t.co/MVUuUXBMvE
“We have removed almost half of Earth’s natural forests, and we continue to lose a further 0.9–2.3 Gt C each year (about 15% of annual human carbon emissions) through deforestation.” We must preserve, protect, and replant. ❤️🌲 @1t_org https://t.co/I2z3kwYj3F
Restoring nature helps achieve our biodiversity and climate goals and also makes healthy biodiversity an economically viable option for local communities worldwide. Integrated Global Forest Assessment reveals that protecting nature can contribute to 30% of our climate… https://t.co/LCLjPczehj
Restoring global forests where they occur naturally could potentially capture an additional 226 gigatons of carbon, equivalent to about a third of the amount carbon humans have released since the beginning of the Industrial Era, according to a new study. https://t.co/D1nKM94jnE

Deforestation in Amazon falls by 22% in 2023, fall apparently due to policies of new Brazil president, Lula. Sobering to reflect that single elections can have that much impact on the natural world. (Data still preliminary.) https://t.co/kwgZRUFByh

The WaPo's climate honesty drought: - Emissions 'intensify' the Amazon drought but end the California drought. Reality: Since emissions can't do both, they most probably don't do either. Droughts just happen. No knows why. But climate hoaxers never waste a drought crisis.… https://t.co/PgCURiPalW https://t.co/tYj1c5t70l
Increasingly at risk due to lightning, extratropical forests are of global importance because of their considerable carbon storage and biodiversity. Increased fire activity 'is showing potential to disproportionately perturb the global carbon cycle.' https://t.co/XWpUvGdO2L
BREAKING: global capitalism's continued destruction of forests over the coming months will likely confirm the end of a livable climate for humanity 🧵

Forests are wellsprings of biodiversity and an essential buffer against climate change, absorbing billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions every year. Yet, forest loss continues to grow. Link > https://t.co/4YpvVHAoPC @VisualCap rt @lindagrass0 #Sustainability #Green https://t.co/VS7L3vWVpR
