Brazilian analysts are pumping CO2 into the Amazon rainforest canopy…. but it’s all in the name of science.
Suspended by crane, INPA researchers expose mature trees to 50% more CO2 than current atmospheric levels, simulating future climate conditions.
The ‘time machine’ experiment will enable monitoring of individual trees and their responses to stress.
Findings from the AmazonFACE site will help predict how much CO2 humans can emit while keeping global warming below two degrees.
