More on Carbon Sinks

Well, look here.  An article today regarding the North Atlantic and carbon sinks.

THE role of oceans to act as a "carbon sink" soaking up greenhouse gases has reduced, leading to new fears about global warming.

Measurements of the north Atlantic taken by UK-based scientists over the decade from the mid-1990s to 2005 show the level of carbon dioxide in its waters reduced by about half over that time.

One of the authors of a study published in a paper for the Journal of Geophysical Research, said the decrease may be triggered by climate change and may also accelerate the process by leaving more CO2 in the atmosphere.

Peer-reviewed science.
