Climate Change and Ocean Impact (NEW COURSE)

Welcome, Ocean Explorer! In this exciting course, you’ll uncover the hidden power of our oceans in the fight against climate change. Did you know the ocean absorbs nearly one-quarter of the carbon dioxide we release into the atmosphere? Without this incredible natural service, global warming would be progressing even faster. Together, we’ll explore how the ocean acts as a carbon sink, what this means for our climate, and why protecting this vital function is essential for a healthy planet. From microscopic phytoplankton to deep sea currents, you’ll learn how marine systems store carbon—and what we risk if they begin to break down. Let’s dive into the blue heart of our planet and discover how the ocean is helping to keep our climate in balance. Your journey to understanding the ocean’s role in climate protection starts here!
