Biological Effects of Elevated CO2
Carbon dioxide as a pollutant: the risks on human health and the stability of the biosphere – Environmental Science: Advances (RSC Publishing) DOI:10.1039/D5VA00017C
Read MoreClimate on Cicerone covers earth-system science and the politics that slow response: ocean productivity, land carbon sinks, sea-level risk, public opinion, and feedbacks that can make emissions cuts harder after impacts arrive.
Featured posts include conspiracy pressure on meteorologists, prehistoric lessons on ocean currents and nutrients, elevated CO2 biology, warming and terrestrial productivity, and research on why climate damages may reduce support for mitigation. Real-estate exposure to rising seas and Pew polling on U.S. climate attitudes sit alongside carbon-budget analysis of the 2023 land sink decline.
Start with the featured list for high-signal science and policy links, then browse the full Climate category. Watch for the gap between acknowledging warming and supporting policies that actually cut emissions where people live.
Physical risk and political will are not the same dataset. Read the papers for mechanisms; read the opinion and policy notes for why action stalls even when the science is already clear to specialists.
