Week 2 Thought Starter
In an article entitled “The Ocean as Carbon Sink: A Double Edged Sword”, Elizabeth Klusinske of WorldGreen.org, “a unique online sustainable community created to help social entrepreneurs on all levels develop and communicate the impact of their green actions”, discusses how the oceans’ absorption of atmospheric CO2 is both a benefit and a challenge (http://www.worldgreen.org/home/wg-feature-articles/8163-the-ocean-as-carbon-sink-a-double-edged-sword.html).
Klusinske introduces two types of storage for anthropogenic CO2: the biological pump and the solubility pump. Please provide a 2-3 sentence description of each of these pump types, and give an example of each (from a separate source).
