A startup called Gigablue claims to have reached a milestone by selling 200,000 carbon credits for its ocean-based carbon capture technology. The company says its patented particles grow algae that trap carbon dioxide, which then sinks to the ocean floor. Outside scientists, however, question the effectiveness and environmental impact of this method, citing a lack of public data and concerns about marine ecosystems. Gigablue has conducted trials in New Zealand and plans to expand operations. While some buyers trust the companys promises, experts remain skeptical about its unproven technology and the broader implications of such ocean-based carbon removal efforts.

That is less than three years away and a year sooner than what the same team calculated in 2024. The threshold is when the world will be committed to 1.5 degrees Celsius of long-term warming since preindustrial times. One scientist and co-author of the report says things aren't just getting worse, they are getting worse faster. The Thursday report's lead author calls it a depressing picture.
