Studie zeigt: Ozean nimmt bis zu 15 % mehr Kohlendioxid auf als gedacht

A new study reveals the ocean has taken in significantly more CO₂ than previous estimates, possibly absorbing up to 0.3–0.4 Pg of carbon per year — about 15 % more — thanks to processes including bubble-mediated gas exchange at the surface. These findings will refine climate models and deepen understanding of the ocean’s role in regulating Earth’s carbon cycle.

This change aims to curb illegal capture for pets, roadside “sloth encounters,” selfies and unregulated tourism, helping safeguard wild populations and reduce stress and mortality from exploitation.
