Ponds that warm up could accelerate climate change, study shows

Ponds that warm up could accelerate climate change, study shows

New research has shown that an increase in temperatures could speed up climate change by increasing the amount of methane (CH4) released by ponds, and cutting the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) they store.

During the experiment, an "array" of ponds was warmed up by four to five degrees centigrade over a period of seven years.
