The seas are saving us from runaway global warming, but for how long?

For decades, the Earth's oceans have absorbed vast quantities of carbon dioxide that would have remained in the atmosphere. This has prevented the full impact of global warming from taking effect, a new study says.

Carbon dioxide, emitted when fossil fuels are burned, is the greenhouse gas scientists say is most responsible for global warming. The gas is at its highest level in our atmosphere in thousands, perhaps millions, of years.

Fortunately, researchers say the oceans have absorbed about 31 percent of the carbon that humans are emitting into the atmosphere. That's a whopping 2.6 billion tons per year. "It’s a huge service the oceans are doing that significantly reduces global temperature
