We’re working on it. Oceans are taking up more CO2 every day
…until the Oceans end up actually releasing all the CO2. Then we’re truly fucked.
“Earth burped.” - the last things humans write.
The oceans have plenty of CO2, the stuff that makes soda fizzy. The ocean is actually one of the largest CO2 sinks on earth. The ocean also has plenty of bubbles to make it “fizzy”, but there is a fuckton more volume of liquid that you don’t get the fizz like a soda as a general rule. So not quite flat as you say.
Is all the co2 distributed evenly or would there be more co2 absorbed in areas where it is colder and less in warmer areas?
Good question. Here is a quote from NOAA
A map of the anthropogenic CO2 ocean column inventory shows that the carbon is not evenly distributed in space. More than 23% of the inventory can be found in the North Atlantic, a region covering approximately 15% of the global ocean. By contrast, the region south of 50°S represents approximately the same ocean area but only has ~9% of the global inventory.
The site above also explains the life cycle of CO2 in the earth’s oceans.
Good information and REAL numbers.
There’s about 50x more co2 in soda water than in ocean water.
There is more co2 in flat soda water than ocean water.
Yes, it is flat.
If that’s true, then why don’t the oceans explode when i throw in a Mentos?
Omg!!! A true showerthought, you say? In the showerthoughts community? I believed they were extinct! Thank you!!!
