A recent study published in the journal Environmental Research Letters suggests that beavers’ actions could be contributing to climate change. These beavers carry dead trees and shrubs to create dams, resulting in new lakes that flood the permafrost soil and release methane.

Over the past century, the toxic additive has contaminated air, dust, soil, drinking water, and food crops, with hugely damaging impacts on human health, including heart disease, strokes and cancer, in addition to affecting the development of the human brain, especially in children.

But climate change is assisting woolly adelgid in its quest for total domination of the Northeast’s hemlocks by helping it spread north into colder climes. Invasive species are difficult to contain in the absence of climate change. Nonnative pests are difficult to contain in normal climatic conditions.

As with the rest of the Arctic, they are threatened by climate change. Not only does its disappearance sound an unexpected warning bell for climate change and the carbon cycle, it also means there may be little time left to learn from the Arctic’s unique ecosystems — before they disappear.

The emerald ash borer, native to Asia, has been devouring ash trees from the Midwest to Pennsylvania since 2002, and the brown marmorated stink bug, also from Asia, has eaten its way through orchards in 43 states to date. In America, the bug is still too new to say for sure that it’s able to thrive because of climate change.

If you took a cubic-metre sample of the soil here, around 90 per cent of the content would be water, with the rest made up of partially decayed vegetation and organic matter that contain vast amounts of carbon. In fact, peatland contains up to 50 per cent carbon content, compared to the two per cent typically found in mineral soil.

Resolutions to global challenges such as climate change, poverty, inequality, biodiversity loss, habitat destruction, resource depletion, racism, and exploitation need the backing of our economic system. This pay inequality hasn’t budged much since 2002 (during whcih time women earned 80% as much as men).

If his soil could be healthier, his crop yield higher, his profit margins wider, he makes it happen. He had already sowed many of his fields with cover crops — not for harvest but to improve soil health and capture carbon dioxide through photosynthesis — and he expanded his use of them.
