Florida State University oceanographers have discovered a significant connection between small-scale microbial processes and ...

Ancient peat bogs show that past shifts in the Southern Westerly Winds transformed carbon storage on Earth. Scientists say ...

Bogs show a climate shift 15000 years ago. Changing winds shaped rainfall and ocean carbon, and similar wind changes matter ...

Measurements analyzed by an international research team led by ETH Zurich show that the global ocean absorbed significantly less CO₂ than anticipated during the unprecedented marine heat wave in 2023.

Climate change deniers love to point out that plants flourish when carbon dioxide levels rise. As we burn fossil fuels, their thinking goes, the Earth will become greener and even more supportive of ...

Each year, burning fossil fuels puffs tens of billions of metric tons of planet-warming carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. And for decades, the Earth’s forests, along with its oceans and soil, have ...

Terrestrial carbon sinks can mitigate the greenhouse effect. Researchers pooled various data sources and found that European carbon storage takes place mainly in surface biomass in East Europe.

The answer is yes! Through carbon sinks. Carbon sinks, natural processes in forests, grasslands and soils, already act to remove carbon from the atmosphere and hold it in long term storage. And, if ...
