Scientists may have to rethink the relationship between the ocean’s circulation and its long-term capacity to store carbon, new research suggests. As the ocean gets weaker, it could release more carbon from the deep ocean into the atmosphere — rather than less, as some have predicted. Scientists may have to rethink the relationship between the …
A new way to store carbon captured from the atmosphere works much faster than current methods without the harmful chemical accelerants they require.
