Ocean uptake of carbon dioxide could drop as carbon emissions are cut

The ocean is so sensitive to declining greenhouse gas emissions that it immediately responds by taking up less carbon dioxide, says a new study. The authors say we may soon see this play out due to the COVID-19 pandemic lessening global fuel consumption; they predict the ocean could take up less carbon dioxide in 2020 than in 2019.
