A new study has revealed that small lakes on Earth have expanded considerably over the last four decades – a worrying development, considering the amount of greenhouse gases freshwater reservoirs emit.
Between 1984 and 2019, global lake surfaces increased in size by more than 46,000 square kilometers (17,761 square miles), researchers say. That's slightly more than the area covered by Denmark.
Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and other gasses are constantly produced from lakes, because of the bacteria and fungi feeding at the bottom of the water, snacking on dead plants and animals that have drifted down to the lake floor.
In total, this lake spread equates to an annual increase of carbon emissions in the region of 4.8 teragrams (or trillion grams) of CO2 – which to continue the country comparisons equals the increase in CO2 emitted by the whole of the UK in 2012.
"There have been major and rapid changes with lakes in recent decades that affect greenhouse gas accounts, as well as ecosystems and access to water resources," says terrestrial ecologist Jing Tang, from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark.

Who paid for this BS “study”? The only clue here is some female Chinese clown scientist in Denmark?

How dare I!!! (lol)

Morons always look for crises. Then they share their panic with whomever will listen.
Too much freshwater. A historic problem in world history.
[In the 70s the scientists said we were in for another ice-age.
That wasn’t paying off, so they switched it to global
warming.]
Ice Age
Global Warming
Cold ... Hot ... It’s the same thing!!!
C’mon man!!!
it worked
LOL
Wikipedia says that Dolby’s father was “an internationally distinguished professor of classical Greek art and archaeology”
I guess that’s some kind of scientist. Dolby is NOT related to the Dolby of Dolby labs.
Dolby did a good cover version of Dan Hicks’ “I Scare Myself” around the same time as Blinded Me with Science, including a video.
His wife's name is Poon.
And their son, Pooty Tang.
Y’all’s can laugh all you want, but this can cause a huge real life problem
Yes, mosquitoes...
you can’t please them....they have a chaos narrative and they’re going to ram it down our throats.
LOL. I watched the Netflix movie TROLL the other night and Greta was mentioned.
Someone brought up climate concerns and the General plotting how to attack the Troll said very sarcastically “Oh great, someone call Greta”. :)
I think it’s really ironic that she pleads with us to make
changes so mankind doesn’t die off.
At the same time, this “brilliant” (/s) little monster has
no idea her fellow travelers wish to kill off 7.5 of the 8.0
billion people on Earth.
Ideally they believe 500 million is just the right amount
of humans for planet Earth.
Here’s a link. The final paragraph provides some
interesting figures.
I’ll have to admit, I never thought of it that way.
Did the little troll explain this to you? Smile...
I’m sure she’d try if you let her.
Lakes drying up is a sign of global warming.
Lakes getting bigger is a sign of global warming.
I guess we need freshwater lakes to dry up to reduce greenhouse gases?
I have a theory on this. Remember these are also the people that were having citizens arrested for collecting rain water. They want the public utilities to be the only source of water you have. And having a LAKE (that’s expanding in size!) is a threat to that.
