Anders Lindroth, professor emeritus, has been published in DN Debatt together with Lars Tranvik, professor of limnology at Uppsala University. Lindroth and Tranvik argue that Sweden's net emissions of greenhouse gases are much higher than society expects. In the method that the UN uses to calculate the amount of carbon dioxide emitted, lakes, watercourses and wetlands are not included. If these ar

The increasing amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are causing our climate to warm at an alarming rate. The consequent changes are unprecedented, and difficult to predict due to the complexity of the Earth system.  While we know that half of the carbon emissions released to the atmosphere by fossil fuel usage are re-captured by the ocean and land ecosystems, we still lack knowledge when i
