Reversing this trend requires urgent action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions but that wont be sufficient by itself. It is also necessary to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (a process known as carbon dioxide removal or CDR). This, in turn, enables the ocean to absorb more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
