Forests and wetlands may raise Earth's temp by 30%

The study indicates that global warming enhances greenhouse gas emissions from forests and wetlands, which could increase Earth's temperature by between 20% and 30% by the end of the century, adding approximately 0.2 to 0.4 degrees Celsius to the global temperature. It clarifies that thawing permafrost and wildfires contribute to the release of methane and carbon dioxide stored in soil and trees. Current predictive models overlook these natural sources, potentially leading to overestimations of future warming rates. The study emphasizes the need to include these factors in climate policies; failing to do so could raise the likelihood of temperature increases exceeding 2.6 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, thereby hindering the achievement of environmental goals.
