How Oceans absorb CO2
Fascinating little article here:
"
Scientists said Sunday they had unraveled the mechanism by which Earth-warming carbon is sucked deep into the Southern Ocean to be safely locked away -- a process that may itself be threatened by climate change.
Wind, eddies and currents work together to create carbon-sucking funnels, said the research team from Britain and Australia in a discovery that adds to the toolkit of scientists attempting climate warming predictions.
About a quarter of the carbon dioxide on Earth is stored away in its oceans -- some 40 percent of that in the Southern Ocean encircling Antarctica.

Welcome to Summer
I plan on enjoying summer without stressing too much about whether or not winter will come again (it will). I hope yours is a good one (if you're in the northern hemisphere at least - otherwise I hope your winter is not too severe).
