Scientists detect a surprising shift in human blood as atmospheric CO2 rises

On va vivre moins longtemps.

Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere may already be influencing human biology. New research has identified long-term changes in blood chemistry that appear to track rising atmospheric CO2, raising concerns that an important blood marker could approach the upper end of its healthy range within the next several decades

"If current trends continue, modeling indicates average bicarbonate levels could approach the upper limit of today's accepted healthy range within 50 years," A/Prof Larcombe said

"Calcium and phosphorus levels could also reach the lower end of their healthy ranges later this century."
