Melting Antarctic ice berg iron sequesters CO2, etc.
Melting icebergs, so long the iconic image of global warming, are triggering a natural process that could delay or even end climate change, British scientists have found...for every percentage point increase in the amount of ice that breaks off, Prof Raiswell calculates that a further 26million tons of CO2 is removed from the atmosphere...Crucially, the scientists want to know how much algae will sink to the bottom of the ocean where the CO2 will be safely trapped.Posted by: mhw 2009-01-04 |
