In a recently published paper, researchers use “an LCA approach to calculate the Long-Lasting #CarbonSequestration (LLCS) of #seaweed, which can be understood as the difference between #CarbonFixation & released C throughout the life cycle of seaweed.”

🚨🌊A marine research team led by Professor Yan Qingyun has proposed a method "to assess the net #CarbonSink of marine #macroalgae (Gracilaria) cultivation. Then, they computed net C sink of Gracilaria cultivation in China based on Gracilaria's annual yield in the last 10yr."
🧵
🧵
Also, "the net #CarbonSink trend of #Gracilaria cultivation in the next ten years was predicted by the autoregressive integrated moving average model (ARIMA)."

There’s a gaping (loop)hole in #climate reporting, calculations & countermeasures—#BlueCarbon!
Must finally put #Seabed #CarbonSink on agenda for #COP26...
Here too #China leads world in #carbon damage—by far.
Time for accountability on #RoadToGlasgow!
