A modeling study spanning 60 years of ocean iron fertilization across 10 ocean biomes reveals stark trade-offs in its use as a CO₂ removal technique. 🌊🧪

Climate benefit and ecological cost trade-offs for ocean iron fertilization - Nature

A process-rich global biogeochemical model is used to determine the trade-offs between carbon dioxide removal efficiency and ecosystem impacts in ten ocean ocean biomes following ocean iron ...

Bad news - we'll soon blow through the carbon budget for stabilizing global temperature at 1.5C Good news - progress on clean energy suggests it is possible to stabilize by 2C www.nature.com/articles/s41... What does the science say? Neither is a magic threshold. Every bit of warming matters.
