Because they contain salt the answer is no. BUT, I read recently that India was planning to start deep ocean dumping of Carbon Dioxide. Shortly after reading this, BBC ‘News 24′ came up with this headline. Oceans are ’soaking up less Carbon Dioxide’. The amount of carbon Dioxide being absorbed by the World’s oceans has reduced, scientists have said.

University of East Anglia researchers gauged carbon dioxide through more than 90,000 measurements from merchant ships equipped with automatic instruments .

Results of their 10-year study in the North Atlantic show carbon dioxide uptake halved between the mid-90’s and 2000 to 2005.

Scientists believe global warming might get worse if the oceans soak up less greenhouse gas.

IS THIS TRUTH OR EXAGERATION? What do you think?
