Would sea level rise increase or decrease ocean's capacity to store CO2?
Sea level will likely rise. Oceans are storing a lot of CO2. So, would sea level affect ocean's capacity to store CO2 ?
I mean, does ocean store CO2 because of the water itself? It's salt concentration ? Or because of the life in it (which may die)?
And at the end of the day, would sea level rise be a good thing considering CO2 only ?
How do scientists determine chemicals in the atmosphere of planets that are over a hundred light years away?
Specifically referencing recent discoveries in K2-18B’s atmosphere that claim to have found biosignatures.
We doing this through a telescope somehow?
