There is another COP climate summit coming up this week, and to fend off the evil spirits of fossil fuel dependency I've written another climate related feature to appear just ahead of the event. So delegates have something to read when they get bored. This time it's about kelp both as a casualty and as a potential saviour in the climate catastrophe. I'm afraid the choice between these two paths rests very much with us (ie humanity). So judging on current performance in global affairs, not much hope there.
Anyhow, the feature is out now:
Brown algae and blue carbon
Current Biology Volume 34, Issue 21, 4 November 2024, Pages R1059-R1061
Restricted access to full text and PDF download
(will become open access one year after publication)
Magic link for free access
(first seven weeks only)

Kelps can capture and sequester carbon on a scale that is significant for climate mitigation. (Photo: freddy an/Pixabay.)
