Ocean water lapping against our shores is what scientists describe as unsung hero that has been quietly keeping temperatures under control.
Prof. Anya Waite is leading a delegation from Dalhousie University’s Ocean Frontier Institute to attend the 27th annual Conference of the Parties of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change — better known as COP27 — in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, starting Sunday. They plan to share ways the deep blue carbon sink acts as a buffer and impacts climate forecasts.Sign up to receive daily headline news from the Calgary SUN, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.
Oceans have absorbed 90 per cent of the earth’s heat emissions so far, Waite said. She credits oceans for the fact the world has not yet blown through the goals set out in the Paris Agreement, the international climate pact that pledged to limit warming to below two degrees Celsius and curb it to 1.5 if possible.
Waite said such “blue carbon ecosystems” help retain emissions, in addition to enhancing biodiversity. But it is further offshore that the biggest carbon stores are to be found, she said.
