Trees and land absorbed almost no CO2 last year. Is nature’s carbon sink failing?

In 2023, natural carbon sinks, including forests and oceans, absorbed significantly less CO2, raising concerns about their ability to regulate climate. This decline, worsened by wildfires and rising temperatures, could speed up global warming, as these sinks are crucial for offsetting human emissions. Climate models had not anticipated such a rapid collapse, suggesting global heating may intensify faster than expected.
