Limiting warming to 1.5-2°C could protect a vital North Atlantic ecosystem
A possible tipping threshold for a key North Atlantic ecosystem has been identified in a new study led by researchers at the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) and the TerraFIRMA project.

Creativity in science: why talk about it?
Because we usually don't, and we aren't good at teaching it either.

🌊 #mCDR
Figure 1. Illustration of various biotic and geochemical methods suggested for marine carbon dioxide removal. Biotic methods include iron fertilization, blue carbon, macroalgae farming, also in combination with artificial upwelling. Geochemical methods include alkalinity enhancement in the form of ocean liming, addition of alkaline minerals, electrochemical methods and direct ocean removal.Abstract of the paper.
The Paris Agreement to limit global warming to well below 2°C requires drastic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and the balancing of any remaining emissions by carbon dioxide removal (CDR). Due to uncertainties about the potential and durability of many land-based approaches to deliver sufficient CDR, marine CDR options are receiving more and more interest. We present the current state of knowledge regarding the potentials, risks, side effects as well as challenges associated with technical feasibility, governance, monitoring, reporting and accounting of marine CDR, covering a range of biotic and geochemical approaches. We specifically discuss to what extent a comparison with direct injection of CO2 into seawater, which had been proposed decades ago and is now prohibited by international agreements, may provide guidance for evaluating some of the biotic marine CDR approaches.
