Explore the 'CO2 Acceleration' and 'Carbon in the Ocean' sections to understand the rate of CO2 increase and the ocean's role in carbon absorption. For CO2 Acceleration, identify the current rate of increase and any historical comparisons. For Carbon in the Ocean, describe how the ocean absorbs CO2 and any key impacts mentioned.
Navigate to 'https://www.co2.earth'. Click on the 'CO2 Now' link (ID 24) to expand the menu. Click on the 'CO2 Acceleration' link (ID 36). Identify the current rate of CO2 increase and any historical comparisons or trends mentioned on the 'CO2 Acceleration' page. Go back to the previous page. Click on the 'CO2 Now' link (ID 24) to re-expand the menu. Click on the 'Carbon in the Ocean' link (ID 40). Describe how the ocean absorbs CO2 as explained on the page. Identify any key impacts or consequences of ocean carbon absorption mentioned.
The agent successfully navigates to the 'CO2 Acceleration' page. The agent identifies and states the current rate of CO2 increase (e.g., 'The annual rate of increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide averaged 2.4 ppm per year over the last decade (2014-2023).'). The agent identifies and states any historical comparisons for the rate of increase (e.g., 'This is the highest rate of increase in the Mauna Loa record.'). The agent successfully navigates to the 'Carbon in the Ocean' page. The agent describes how the ocean absorbs CO2 (e.g., 'The ocean absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere through a physical and chemical process where CO2 dissolves in seawater.'). The agent identifies and states key impacts or consequences of ocean carbon absorption (e.g., 'This absorption leads to ocean acidification, which harms marine life, particularly organisms with shells or skeletons.').
