Since soil contains nearly three times as much carbon than in the atmosphere, even a small fraction of carbon emitted from soil has the potential to accelerate climate change. The researchers then simulated the global carbon emissions from wild pig soil damage based on previous research in the Americas, Europe, and China.

Diesel cars are a popular choice for those looking to buy a used vehicle in Asia, Europe, and elsewhere. Although the pollutant emissions of a diesel engine are less than those of a gasoline one, it still emits carcinogens, nitrous oxides, and soot. Older models don’t even have the emission-control features that newer ones do.
