By Robert McSweeney The oceans are a hugely important “carbon sink,” helping absorb CO2 emissions from human activities. Without them, CO2 would accumulate more quickly in the atmosphere, raising temperatures more quickly. A new study, published in Nature, finds that recent changes in circulation patterns in the world’s oceans are playing a key role in […]

It says the 3-D visualization is “one of the most realistic views yet” of the “complex patterns in which carbon […]
