Scientists are developing methods to enhance the ocean's capacity to absorb carbon dioxide, aiming to expedite the natural process that sequesters this climate-changing pollutant for thousands of years. This cutting-edge research could offer a critical strategy for mitigating global carbon emissions and addressing climate change. Simultaneously, energy giant BP is set to reduce green investment and increase focus on gas and oil. This shift in strategy reflects broader industry trends, with other companies also retracting from green energy plans. BP's decision raises concerns about its potential climate impact and the diverging paths taken in global efforts towards sustainability.
