But but plants love to eat CO2

No, that doesn't have enough electrolytes.

The following submission statement was provided by /u/Portalrules123:
SS: Related to climate and ecological collapse as researchers have found that tropical forests are not adapting nearly quickly enough to compensate for the rate of climate change that we are facing. This shouldn’t come as a surprise considering we are changing the climate at an unprecedentedly rapid pace. Apparently highland tropical forests are adapting slightly better than lowland forests due to the climatic variability already present at high elevations, but it still isn’t nearly enough. Expect ecosystems across the planet to continuing failing to adapt and thus dying off as climate change accelerates.

“These tropical forests have survived climate changes for millions of years, but now they face an unprecedented challenge. A new study reveals that these forests are not adapting quickly enough to keep up with environmental changes.”
We are emitting ghgs and warming the world at a record pace, leaving life unable to evolve and adapt. Faster than expected and faster than adapable.
