Scientists just dropped a climate bombshell: Dust isn’t just dirt—it’s a key player in Earth’s carbon cycle! 🌪️ A groundbreaking study published this week in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment shows how dust regulates global warming, offering fresh clues to predict our planet’s future.
Led by researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research, with British and Swedish collaborators, the study reveals how dust particles influence carbon storage in oceans and soils. 🏔️💨 Think of it as Earth’s sneaky ‘dust thermostat’ slowing down climate chaos.
‘This changes how we model ecosystems,’ said one researcher. The findings could reshape climate policies, especially as global temperatures keep rising. 🔥 With 2025 on track to be one of the hottest years ever, understanding dust’s role is more urgent than ever.
