In 1988, when the changing climate was referred to as global warming , it seemed obvious that the main issue with a changing climate was that the planet was getting hotter. Higher temperatures also fuel droughts causing snow pack melt, more moisture to evaporate from lakes, reservoirs, and soil, and drier shrubs and trees.

As the world gets hotter, soils are getting drier; it takes more and more precipitation to water the same crops and fill the same reservoirs. This complexity has resulted in conflicting messages about the role of human-caused global warming in the droughts that have ravaged the American West and the rest of the world.

Soil scientists strongly disagree about whether soil carbon sequestration (SCS) can effectively help to decarbonize the atmosphere. Our recently published article in Nature Sustainability outlines our concerns that this conflicting messaging undermines efforts to restore soils to safeguard human and environmental well-being.
