When warmer summers eat at the permafrost, pecking beaks hardly make the situation better. 

The ocean takes up more than three times as much CO₂ from the atmosphere as in 1860. The main culprit is the higher concentration of CO₂ in the atmosphere. Emissions have not stopped rising, new report states.

The oceans have relieved the atmosphere from ¼ of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. In the Arctic, thawing permafrost may weaken this mechanism, new research indicates.

To know whether emission treaties are complied with, all CO2 must be traceable. Incomplete bookkeeping sent scientists on a search in the Greenland Sea.

While the Arctic tundra loses color as the permafrost thaws, cities are greening.

Global CO2 emissions have increased from last year. This brings both emissions and the CO2 content in the atmosphere to a record high.

Injecting particles into the atmosphere would reduce the temperature increase. But for the world’s ecosystems there is no alternative to mitigation efforts.

Highly probable ocean tipping points need to be taken equally seriously as potential singular catastrophic climatic tipping points, write scientists and stakeholders in a new PNAS research perspective.

Big data demand new tools. To find out how much CO₂ the Atlantic will take up in the future, researchers pick up an old one. The legacy of Mendel.
