NEW YORK, June 4 -- Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory issued the following news:
Volcanic eruptions and human-caused changes to the atmosphere strongly influence the rate at which the ocean absorbs carbon dioxide, says a new study. 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 due to the COVID-19 pandemic les . . .
