Scientists Think We Could Slow Climate Change by Sinking Trees in the Arctic Ocean

Scientists propose a bold strategy to slow climate change by sinking boreal trees in the Arctic Ocean, which could lock away carbon for millennia. However, this method comes with risks, including potential negative impacts on soil quality, biodiversity, and increased emissions from deforestation and transportation. The study suggests that major river systems in Russia, Alaska, and Canada could be used for transporting timber to the Arctic Ocean, but careful evaluation of land ownership, infrastructure, and other factors is necessary.
