Oceans Lock Away Carbon Slower Than Previously Thought

Cars That Think

NOVEMBER 4, 2024

Oceans are believed to absorb roughly 26 percent of global carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions by drawing down CO 2 from the atmosphere and locking it away. Marine snow may be slowed by “parachutes” of mucus while sinking, potentially lowering the rate at which the global ocean can sequester carbon in the depths.
