Scientists have made a breakthrough discovery about the role of oceans in absorbing carbon dioxide. A team of researchers found that a thin layer of cool surface water, just 2mm deep, can enhance CO2 absorption by creating an interface between the "ocean skin" and the layer beneath it. This subtle temperature difference allows for more CO2 to be taken in, which is crucial as oceans absorb about a quarter of human carbon emissions.
