Summary:
- This article discusses the discovery of a hidden carbon vault in Africa that is starting to leak, which could have significant implications for climate change.
- The article explains that this carbon vault is a large store of carbon that has been naturally sequestered in the soil and vegetation of the Congo Basin, one of the world's largest tropical rainforests.
- However, due to deforestation and other human activities, this carbon vault is now starting to release its stored carbon back into the atmosphere, potentially contributing to the acceleration of global warming.
