Antarctic sea ice may not cap carbon emissions as much as previously thought
Study from researchers in MIT’s Darwin Project suggests sea ice blocks the flow of carbon both into and out of the ocean, in roughly equal measure. Continue reading Antarctic sea ice may not cap carbon emissions as much as previously thought
