Rising atmospheric CO2 levels are correlated with increased blood bicarbonate levels and decreased calcium and phosphorus levels in humans.

A new study shows blood bicarbonates levels in a large human population increased between 2000 to 2020, while calcium and phosphorus showed a decrease over the same period, suggesting a possible link between air CO2 and bicarbonate levels in blood If trend continues linearly, analysis shows bicarbonate levels will be at or exceed healthy limit in around 50 years. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11869-026-01918-5 We need to keep CO2 in check, or it's going to keep us in check. #ClimateChange #Sustainability #Health

Well, great, one more way in which climate change is messing with us - our blood chemistry. Blood bicarbonate levels show an increasing trend, one that parallels rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations (w/ potential health effects).
