Nature – Bach et al. (2025): Natural carbon uptake by ocean biology will not deliver credible carbon credits

Natural CO₂ removal is increasingly being claimed as anthropogenic climate mitigation. This misrepresentation is already prevalent for forests and coastal ecosystems; there is now the risk of the error reoccurring for open-ocean CO₂ uptake via the biological carbon pump.
