Sinking trees into the Arctic Ocean could reduce carbon emissions. But is it worth it?
A group of European scientists have recently proposed an idea to sink mature trees from the vast boreal forest in Canada, Alaska and Russia into the deep Arctic ocean, to store the carbon for centuries to come.

#Narwhals become quieter as the #ArcticOcean grows louder
As global temperatures continue to rise, the acoustic world narwhals depend on is rapidly shifting throughout their range, from northeastern #Canada and #Greenland to #Norway’s #Svalbard archipelago and #Arctic waters in #Russia. It’s getting louder. Increasing shipping traffic is interfering with the #whales’ ability to hunt and communicate.

Scientists Think We Could Slow Climate Change by Sinking Trees in the Arctic Ocean

Purposefully sinking boreal trees could help lock away carbon for millennia or longer, but the audacious plan comes with risks of its own.

#Arctic Is in Dire Straits, 20yr of Reporting Show
Arctic has changed dramatically in 20yr, report shows, as temps skyrocket and ice rapidly melts.
About 95% of oldest, thickest sea ice is gone—sliver that remains is collected in an area north of Greenland. Even central #ArcticOcean is becoming warmer and saltier, causing more ice melt and changing how much heat is released into the atmosphere in a way that affects weather patterns around the world

Imagine a creature swimming in the Arctic depths, born around the time of Shakespeare, that is still alive today. Meet the Greenland shark—nature's most incredible testament to patience and longevity.
A 2016 scientific breakthrough used radiocarbon dating on the sharks' eye lenses to reveal their astonishing lifespan. Researchers found these giants live for at least 272 years, with the largest studied shark estimated to be about 400 years old.
They grow incredibly slowly, only a few centimetres over many years, and don't even reach sexual maturity until they're roughly 150 years old. This makes them the oldest known vertebrates on our planet.
Let the Greenland shark remind you today that some of the most amazing things take time. Its centuries-long, slow-paced journey in the deep, dark ocean is a powerful symbol of resilience, survival, and the profound, quiet wonders of our natural world.
