Humans burp after a big meal. Heat from climate change might be released by the Southern Ocean into the atmosphere sometime in the future. This heat would cause comparable heating to anthropogenic ...

The ocean has helped mitigate global warming by absorbing about a quarter of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions, along with more than 90% of the excess heat those emissions generate.
