Ocean Absorbs More Fossil Fuel Carbon While Land Uptake Stalls, 30 Years of Data Show

Researchers say ocean and land sinks have absorbed about 48% of fossil-fuel carbon dioxide since 1990, but models still miss the observed balance.

Summary by Phys.org
The ocean has been absorbing carbon dioxide from fossil fuel emissions at an increasing rate since 1990, while the net uptake of carbon by forests, soils and other land ecosystems has not grown, according to a new study led by scientists at UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
