Something else for the deniers to deny: The ocean is absorbing less carbon dioxide
Climate Progress — ... CO2 uptake in the Atlantic and Southern oceans.“Our result … unequivocally demonstrated that oceanic uptake of CO2 has been directly affected by warming-induced weakening of vertical ventilation ,” he says…. Lee adds: “In other words, the increase in atmospheric temperature due to global warming can profoundly influence the ocean ventilation, thereby decreasing the uptake rate of CO2.” This study matches other recent research on ocean sink saturation. In 2007, the BBC reported, “ The amount of carbon dioxide being absorbed by the world’s oceans has reduced ” based on more than ...
