As the time between sunup and sundown gets shorter and shorter, do you find yourself dreaming of white, sandy beaches and crystal blue water? Maybe grabbing a snorkel and some fins and exploring the cove for coral and sea life? Or is your idea of a great seaside holiday sinking your teeth into a fresh crab or lobster, steamed just right, as the sun sets on the horizon?

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 this week’s issue of the journal Nature, and is expanded upon in a separate website.

The increase in CO2 levels in the atmosphere due to human activities is partly responsible for global warming. By absorbing almost 15% of anthropogenic carbon released every year, the Southern Ocean is one of the main sinks for atmospheric CO2. But its effectiveness is decreasing, even as the level of atmospheric carbon jas continued to increase over the last few years. Until now, the saturation of the carbon sink in the Southern Ocean has not been correctly simulated by the climate models used.

Carbon dioxide emissions are turning the world’s oceans more acidic, endangering coral reefs and fisheries, the science academies of 70 nations warned today in a joint statement.
The effect could be irreversible for tens of thousands of years, the academies said. They urged countries attending U.N. climate negotiations in Bonn, Germany, this week to cut the world’s CO2 emissions at least 50 percent below 1990 levels by 2050, with additional cuts after that.
