When it comes to climate change, a new study finds that our fear over the planet’s health may be “greatly overestimated.” [emphasis, links added]
For the first time, researchers have found oceans help cool global temperatures more than anyone previously thought.
Specifically, sulfur gas produced by marine life emits a second compound that significantly cools the planet. The discovery will help create more accurate climate models and provide another tool to slow global warming.
With almost three-fourths of Earth covered by oceans, the waters capture and redistribute the Sun’s heat. The latest study in Science Advances shows the process goes much deeper than that.
