If the same techniques were applied across the world, the size of the oceanic carbon sink, and its variation year by year, would be known considerably better than the size of the land sink.
In this week's issue of Science Dr Watson and his colleagues use these data combined with data from elsewhere on sea-surface temperatures and the amount of mixing going on under the surface to produce figures for the total size of the North Atlantic carbon sink during 2005.
Ms. KING: But to those that do understand that it is a problem, I would say this bill would preserve a large carbon sink, a place that would protect and sequester carbon which, by the way, turns into money for the taxpayers because we can sell that - those points, I think, if we need to.

Even the most potentially disturbing suggestion, which involves fertilising the oceans with iron in order to promote the growth of planktonic algae (in the hope that they would sink to the seabed, taking their carbon with them), can be covered by the London Convention on marine pollution, which regulates dumping at sea, and has already addressed itself to research in the area.
