Last month, 44 climate scientists from 15 countries wrote an open letter to the Nordic Council of Ministers highlighting the risk of a potential collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a critical ocean current system in the Atlantic Ocean. But what exactly would cause the AMOC to collapse?
The next week has the potential to bring important developments for international governance of marine carbondioxide removal (CDR). seaweed) for carbon storage. Some are land-based, while others use the ocean. In order to answer these questions, further research, including in-ocean research, is needed.
Because of the way the climate and ocean systems respond to heat-trapping emissions, sea levels will continue to rise even after air temperatures stabilize. Research with climate models in recent years shows that when carbondioxide emissions stop, the rise in atmospheric temperatures will likely also stop.
You might be thinking, if the burning of fossil fuels increases Earths albedo due to additional aerosols in the atmosphere, shouldnt this offset any impact from the effects of increased heat-trapping emissions like carbondioxide?
The Supreme Courts decision could have implications for certain marine carbondioxide (mCDR) activities that require permits under the CWA. mCDR refers to ocean-based processes or techniques designed to remove carbondioxide from the atmosphere and store it for long periods of time in the ocean.
It is also necessary to remove carbondioxide from the atmosphere (a process known as carbondioxide removal or CDR). Seaweed naturally converts dissolved carbondioxide in ocean water into organic carbon through photosynthesis. EPA may regulate seaweed sinking under the MPRSA.
A research consortium plans to revive geoengineering trials of the controversial iron fertilization technique to pull carbondioxide from the air, despite public backlash
It shows the atmospheric concentrations of carbondioxide (CO 2 ) and tells a story about the carbon cycle, involving Earth’s crust, the atmosphere, land surface, the biosphere, and the oceans. The Keeling curve, highlighted with the release of important climate reports and climate summits.
Scientists have identified a number of land- and ocean-based carbondioxide removal (CDR) approaches. Early efforts primarily focused on land-based approaches, but interest in ocean-based approaches, also known as marine CDR, has grown in recent years. ocean waters. judge-made) law.
Grade F: First major vital sign shift in its report card Different factors are at play in terms of whether the Arctic is a net sink or source of carbon. On one hand, warming temperatures increased vegetation in the region with increased uptake of carbondioxide. Methane releases were sustained as well.
Our planet is undergoing significant changes due to climate disruption, with especially severe impacts on the ocean. The Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change underscores the urgent need the advance carbondioxide removal (CDR) as a complement to (but not a substitute for) emissions reductions.
Consider the record-breaking warm ocean temperatures of the past year, which has caused the largest coral bleaching event on record , habitat loss and species migration. Many scientists thought these high ocean temperatures would be years away, but the realities of climate change are not a distant threat.
Sprinkling powered basalt over natural ecosystems would remove vast amounts of carbondioxide from the Earth’s atmosphere while also improving soils. But even in best case scenarios for renewable energy and industrial decarbonization, it looks certain that significant carbondioxide emissions will continue for decades.
The Sabin Center today published model federal legislation to advance safe and responsible oceancarbondioxide removal (CDR) research in U.S. Controlled field trials and other in-ocean research is critical to improve scientific and societal understanding of CDR techniques that could help the U.S. reach its climate goals.
Some scientists say the controversial fishing practice of ocean trawling stirs up buried organic matter, some of which makes its way to the surface in the form of carbondioxide
The main objectives included: Approving and adopting outlines for the three major working group reports and an additional methodology report on carbondioxide removal (CDR). The Goals of the Hangzhou Plenary The agenda for this Plenary was packed with essential tasks shaping the next IPCC reports in this cycle.
The culmination of a series of five, virtual, multi-hour discussion group sessions and one presentation from a variety of practitioners in the ocean-based CDR space, the report details potential guidelines for exploring what governance structures, scientific research, and community engagement should look like as practitioners explore the possibility (..)
Rising carbondioxide levels are driving an increase in the ocean’s acidity – and this change is sinking deeper as emissions increase, putting even more marine organisms at risk
but it inevitably brings forth a mish-mash of half-remembered, inappropriate or out-of-date comparisons between the impacts of carbondioxide and methane. Thus despite the smaller concentrations and changes in methane compared to carbondioxide, the impacts are comparable. Stocks and flows. References. Etminan, G.
Climate change is here, and nowhere is this more immediately apparent than in our ocean. It makes sense that our ocean would bear the most immediate impacts because it is on the front line of actually absorbing and storing the carbon that causes climate change to begin with.
The primary cause of accelerating sea level rise is human activity As people burn fossil fuels and emit heat-trapping gases like carbondioxide, our atmosphere and our oceans warm up. As the ocean warms, it expands. That adds water to the oceans, which raises their level.

With empirical data and more and better modeling, it has become clear that, to first approximation, the eventual anthropogenic warming from carbondioxide is tied to the cumulative emissions. This figure is from the AR6 SPM: The relationship between cumulative carbon emissions and temperature (SPM AR6).
Lead author Adam Gold , a watershed researcher for the Environmental Defense Fund, said the wild uncertainty is because the court arbitrarily created a new standard for federal protection divorced from the science of how wetlands support larger streams, rivers, lakes and the ocean.
The Sabin Center published a new report today recommending actions that federal agencies could take to ensure safe and responsible permitting and regulation of oceancarbondioxide removal (CDR) research in U.S. A variety of ocean-based CDR approaches—i.e., Those activities could raise a host of legal issues. and the U.S.
The Sabin Center wrapped up Climate Week NYC last Friday with an event exploring the opportunities and challenges posed by ocean-based carbondioxide removal (CDR). As evidenced by the 150-plus people in attendance, ocean CDR is attracting growing attention as a possible climate change mitigation option.
The ocean has absorbed nearly 33% of all greenhouse gas emissions and around 90% of the excess heat produced through climate change. It may seem like a good thing all around that the ocean is protecting us in this way, but the ocean actually pays a hefty price. Thanks for signing up for Ocean Conservancy emails.
A new report published today by the Sabin Center examines the laws governing international transport of carbondioxide for sequestration. We focus, specifically, on the shipping of carbondioxide that was captured in Europe to the United States for sequestration there.
As another year comes to a close, I am reflecting on the incredible progress Ocean Conservancy has made in 2023 towards a healthy, resilient ocean future. For better or worse, this is the nature of ocean conservation work—sometimes we hit roadblocks, but it’s a reminder of why this work is so critically important.
Observations from the James Webb Space Telescope have shown carbondioxide on the surface of Jupiter’s icy moon Europa – that’s a good sign for the habitability of its buried seas

And as I learned at the International Zero Waste Cities Conference held January 2023 in Quezon City (part of Metro Manila in the Philippines) in, this impacts our planet and our ocean in many ways.
In particular, he said, “reliance upon coal, on the other hand, could aggravate the ‘greenhouse effect,’ whereby excess carbondioxide (which accompanies coal burning) traps heat inside the earth’s atmosphere, thus possibly melting the icecaps and raising the level of the oceans.”
Projects to remove carbondioxide from the atmosphere by making the oceans less acidic are popping up all over the world – New Scientist visited one in New York City’s East river
Stripping carbondioxide out of the ocean could be much more efficient than capturing it from the air. Researchers are hoping to show its potential at a pilot plant in Weymouth
‘Despite decades of warnings, we are still heading in the wrong direction’ By Bob Berwyn Research released this week raises new questions about how much more Earth may warm, or cool, if and when human carbondioxide emissions zero out.
Running Tide, a carbon-removal company in the US, has sunk more than 10,000 tonnes of waste wood into the Atlantic Ocean in an effort to reduce carbondioxide levels in the atmosphere – but experts aren't convinced it will work
Melting ice has increased how fast Arctic waters are absorbing carbondioxide, making them more acidic faster. The change could disrupt entire marine ecosystems
As deeply troubling reports continue to come in about ocean waters hitting historic hot temperatures, sectors like global shipping are trying to understand the consequences of a warmer ocean and what can be done to stop the heating. So, we’re seeing the ocean heat up, lose oxygen and get bigger. as a national policy leader.
