A new UN report highlights how oceans could play a crucial role in fighting global warming by absorbing CO2 and heat. With nearly 50 field trials in the past four years, scientists are exploring ways to regulate climate through ocean-based solutions. However, critics warn that these efforts are moving too fast with limited safeguards.

UN Report: How oceans could help fight global warming

United Nations estimates say our oceans generate 50% of the oxygen we need, they absorb 25% of all carbon dioxide emissions, and capture 90% of the excess heat generated by these emissions. Our oceans are not just the lungs of the planet but also its largest carbon sink. Watch in for more details!
