Storage capacity of the oceans for CO
2
greater than assumed
A
new
study
(Wei-Lei
Wang
et.
al.)
assumes
that
the
storage
capacity
of
the
oceans
for
CO
2
through
the
sedimentation
of
plankton
in
deep
water
is
15
gigatons
per
year
.
The IPCC World Climate Report from 2021 still assumed only 11 gigatons.
