The fight against climate change has led scientists to explore some unconventional solutions. One idea that’s making waves is ...

This researchers attributed the rise to record-high sea surface temperatures in large areas of both oceans, which reduced the water’s capacity to absorb CO2. “The CO2 un-dissolves,” says ...

Levels of carbon dioxide — the most abundant planet-warming gas in the air — jumped up by a record amount in 2024.

The ocean naturally pulls in about a quarter of the carbon dioxide people produce. It's the planet’s largest carbon sink.

[Washington] Commercial activities that damage sea floors are disrupting the oceans’ natural carbon capture capacity, with more research needed on their impact on carbon dioxide absorption, according ...

Scientists are worried because they can’t fully explain the big jump, but they think it might mean that carbon absorption by forests, fields and wetlands is slowing down—a major problem for the world.

They say the move could irreparably harm marine ecosystems and ignores an ongoing process to adopt international rules for ...

NOAA research shows it would take the average tree more than 1500 years to sequester the amount of carbon dioxide a whale can ...

A company that spreads crushed rock on farmers’ fields to draw climate-warming carbon dioxide won a $50 million grand prize.

To combat climate change, a team of scientists are sucking CO2 out of the ocean. The project, dubbed SeaCURE, began operating ...

The planet’s ability to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere into forests and oceans is one of the key reasons human-caused climate change hasn’t spiraled into an even bigger disaster. At the start ...
