The ability of the world's oceans to absorb carbon dioxide, thus tempering the greenhouse effect, is weakening and so more CO2 emissions will remain in the atmosphere to warm up Earth, according to a study published Thursday in the journal Science.

Why does it seem like I've heard about this before? Perhaps this new study is re-confirming an earlier one. We may never know if another Ice Age is in the future or not.

All these reports are making it harder for me to decide whether to move south or just stay where I am and let the warmth catch up.
