Our ocean is a natural carbon sink, absorbing about 25% of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the atmosphere every year. McKinley explained this, coupled with the land biosphere, accounts for half of annual CO2 emissions removal, equating to $1 trillion in climate mitigation services each decade.
Understanding carbon storage in the ocean and land biosphere is crucial for mitigating emissions and limiting climate change. Monitoring sinks' ability to absorb carbon is key to foreseeing climate change impact.
