Summary: The Earths oceans, which have absorbed carbon dioxide from fuel emissions since the dawn of the industrial era, have recently grown less efficient at sopping it up. Emissions from the buring of fossil fules began soaring in the 1950s, and oceans largely kept up, scientists say. But the growth in the intake rate has slowed since the 1980, and since 2000.

Response: This is just another piece of bad news for the globe and global warming. Things just seem to be addin on each other and it is getting pretty bad.
