WASHINGTON, June 4 -- The American Geophysical Union issued the following news release:
Volcanic eruptions and human-caused changes to the atmosphere strongly influence the rate at which the ocean absorbs carbon dioxide, according to a new study published in the journal AGU Advances. The ocean is so sensitive to changes such as declining greenhouse gas emissions that it immediately responds by taking up less carbon dioxide.
The authors say we may soon see this play out . . .
