The Arctic Ocean is experiencing extreme carbon dioxide emissions due to runoff from one of the biggest rivers in North America. The world’s smallest ocean is more powerful than what it weighs when it comes to impacting climate change. New research indicates that section of the Arctic Ocean releases more carbon dioxide (CO2) than it takes in due to melting permafrost and carbon-rich discharge from Canada’s Mackenzie River. The cold waters of the arctic absorbs 180 million metric tons of carbon per year, which is three times more than what New York city emits per year. Which makes it one … Continue reading Mackenzie River Influence on Arctic Ocean Carbon Emissions: A Detailed Analysis
