🌍 Small lakes drive lake emissions Small lakes under 0.1 square kilometres make up just 9.6% of the world's lake area, but a huge study found they produce 34.6% of all nitrous oxide leaking from lakes into the air. 🔗 doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.aeg1490 #Climate #Lakes #GreenhouseGas #Science 🧪

One-third of global lake nitrous oxide emissions are concentrated in the northern temperate zone (40°N–50°N)
Lacustrine nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions remain highly uncertain in the global greenhouse gas budget largely because of sparse observations and the omission of small lakes. Here we compile the Global ...

Good morning! Monthly climate change indicator update time... 🫣 + Global temperature: 📈 + Carbon dioxide (CO₂): 📈 + Methane (CH₄): 📈 + Nitrous oxide (N₂O): 📈 Download at zacklabe.com/climate-chan...
This graphic shows four line graph time series and each are monthly from January 1984 through August 2026. The first graph is a 12-month running mean of global mean surface temperature anomalies. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1991-2020 baseline using ERA5 data. The second graph is monthly carbon dioxide abundance. The CO2 graph is the Keeling Curve. Current levels are 428 ppm. The third graph is monthly global methane abundance. Current levels are 1939 ppb. The fourth graph is monthly global nitrous oxide abundance. Current levels are 340 ppb. The three greenhouse gases show seasonal cycles and long-term increasing trends using data from NOAA GML. The global mean surface temperature anomaly record also exhibits decadal variability and a long-term increasing trend. All graphs are rising and shown in four different colors, including white, yellow, orange, and pink.

When individuals face environmental tradeoffs, they lean on moral disengagement which allows people to bypass moral engagement so they can pursue self-interest guilt-free. The irony, the smarter or more articulate a person is, the better they tend to be at moral disengagement.
