Change Type: Correction
Change Details: This article erroneously stated that the oceans absorb roughly half of the world's carbon emissions. What it meant to say is that around 2.4–4.6% of the world’s carbon emissions are captured and sequestered by living organisms in the oceans. The text has now been corrected.
