#Blue Carbon

Blue carbon is a buzzword slapped on the CO₂ that coastal wetlands and seagrasses tirelessly absorb. While scientifically highlighting crucial marine ecosystem functions, it conveniently serves as a fig leaf for shifting responsibility from actual emission cuts. In practice, mangrove and seagrass efforts become mere sideshows to human environmental greenwashing. Ultimately, the allure of the label often outweighs the planet’s rescue, a deliciously ironic phenomenon.
