Rising CO2 Emissions

The Ocean and Climate Change
The ocean is being disproportionately impacted by increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from human activities.
Huge amounts of greenhouse gases lurk in the oceans, and could make warming far worse
Stores of methane and CO2 in the world's seas are in a strange, icy state, and the waters are warming, creating a ticking carbon time bomb.
Ocean's climate change 'buffer' role under threat
esearchers studying the ocean at depths of up to 6km have found that climate change has a "worrying" effect on its ability to lock away carbon.
In hot water: Ocean warming hits another record high on climate change
A new study has found that, for the sixth year in a row, the world’s oceans have been hotter than they’ve ever been in recent history due to human-induced climate change.

When it comes to sucking up carbon emissions, ‘the ocean has been forgiving.’ That might not last
Our planet would be unrecognizable without the ocean for myriad reasons, not least of which is the key role it plays in keeping our climate in check.
Climate Change Indicators: Oceans
Covering about 70 percent of the Earth’s surface, the world’s oceans have a two-way relationship with weather and climate.
Why our ocean could hold the best solutions to climate change
Absorbing heat and carbon dioxide, the ocean has so far lessened the effects of climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions...
