Researchers Find That Stratospheric Ozone Depletion Reduces Southern Ocean Carbon Uptake

Green Car Congress

Researchers in France have found that ozone depletion above Antarctica has significantly reduced the Southern Ocean’s ability to absorb atmospheric CO 2 and has also accelerated acidification of southern polar waters, despite lesser CO 2 uptake. This corresponds to a relative reduction of nearly 10% of the global oceanic carbon uptake.

WMO reports GHG concentrations at highest in 800K years

Green Car Congress

Globally averaged concentrations of CO 2 reached 403.3 To optimize the use of solar, wind and hydropower production, new types of weather, climate and hydrological services are needed. Globally averaged concentrations for CO 2 reached 403.3 parts per million in 2016, up from 400.00 parts per million in 2016, up from 400.00

The Why, How, and Maybe Not of Geoengineering

Cars That Think

And so if you’re worried about the problem in the next 30 or 40 years where scientists are telling us in these big global climate assessment reports that under every scenario, the Earth continues to warm, right now, we still don’t have anything that operates in that sub-30-year time scale. And that was based on observations of volcanoes.
