Ocean circulation changes threaten carbon storage capacity

Original: @ DaveWhittle 12/ Impact on Ocean Carbon & Oxygen: The ocean absorbs a massive portion of human-generated carbon emissio

Posts are highlighting how disruption of ocean vertical mixing and circulation weakens the ocean's ability to absorb and store human-generated carbon emissions, while also affecting oxygen levels. The claim is that this could accelerate atmospheric carbon buildup, compounding climate change beyond what current emissions alone suggest.

Why now: Growing concern about weakening ocean circulation and its role in climate feedback loops
