The oceans play a key role in regulating climate, absorbing more than
a quarter of the carbon dioxide that humans put into the air. Now,
the first year-by-year accounting of this mechanism during the
industrial era suggests the oceans are struggling to keep up with
rising emissions -- a finding with potentially wide implications for
future climate. The study appears in the November 19 issue of the
journal Nature.
