Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Climate change: Scientists look to the seabed for solutions” – below is their description.
The ocean is the world’s largest carbon sink, absorbing about 30 percent of all carbon dioxide emissions.
It is a vital but unprotected buffer against climate change.
Just how much carbon the continental shelves can absorb is not fully understood.
A five-year research programme is underway, hoping to change that.
Al Jazeera’s Charlie Angela reports from Cumbrae, Scotland.
