It Takes More than Dead Trees to Make a Credible Newspaper

An article in last weekโ€™s British paper, The Telegraph, claimed that the IPCC had made yet another significant mistake โ€“ this time overstating the sensitivity of the Amazon rainforest to drought.ย  It turns out that the article severely misrepresented the state of the science. Whileย that one very dry year did notย produce the kind ofย vegetation changes detectible by satellite imagery, it did, in fact, kill a number of trees, turning the rainforest from a โ€œsinkโ€ that absorbed 2 billion tons of CO2, to a โ€œsourceโ€ of even more CO2 from the resulting number of dead trees. The culpa for an initial post to Desmogblog, taking the IPCC to task, is exclusively mea.ย  The correct narrative of the rainforestโ€™s vulnerability to severe drought comes courtesy of the scientists at Realclimate.
