Climate change can cause an increase in atmospheric CO2 through carbon cycle feedbacks
the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
confidence 85/100
Climate change can drive an increase in atmospheric CO2 through carbon cycle feedbacks, as warming temperatures and changing environmental conditions cause terrestrial and marine ecosystems to release stored carbon.
