Researchers at the University of Connecticut and University of Florida measured carbon in 700 sediment samples from fjords around the world They estimate 18 million tonnes of carbon is buried in fjords every year Fjords account for just 0.1% of the world's ocean but 11% of carbon uptake Scientists say they could provide carbon sinks to combat global warming

Don’t know but I have been to the Fjords many times in Norway and it is beautiful.

They don’t need to build more. Just announce the program today and declare victory tomorrow. There hasn’t been any warming since 1999.

I say we build a fjord right through the reflecting pool.

The oceans are a huge carbon sink in general, not just the fjords.
Changes in ocean temperatures play a really big role in atmospheric CO2.
Just think of warm soda versus cold soda; which one keeps its fizz?

The problem, as I understand it, is that global warming leads to global cooling, which in turns leads to global warming, and so on, and so on.

According to their designer, Slartibartfast, fjords also give a continent a baroque feel.

Stole my answer.
Yes, the fjords have been doing an excellent job, completely stopping global warming for the last 15 years. Good thing we had them. Now we can go back to rational discussions of real issues.
To: Spruce
Well, he was adding them to Africa for that very reason.
