This is because trees suck up carbon dioxide as they grow, so every time forests are chopped down it reduces the Earth’s ability to absorb the greenhouse gas.

这是因为，树木在生长过程中吸收二氧化碳，因此，每次砍伐森林都会降低地球吸收温室气体的能力。

Scientists are also worried that, as carbon dioxide emissions rise, the ocean will absorb greater amounts of the greenhouse gas, shifting the chemistry of seawater.

科学家们同时担心，随着二氧化碳排放量的增加，海洋将会吸收更多的温室气体，进而改变海水的化学性质。

The atoms in the gas will absorb certain colours of light, each of which corresponds to a particular wavelength.

ECONOMIST: Fundamental physics

Just as in a container, molecules in an inter-galactic gas cloud absorb certain wavelengths and leave a pattern of dark lines on a quasar's spectrum.

Water vapor is a potent greenhouse gas and will absorb yet more heat.
