Scientists uncover link between ocean's chemical processes and microscopic floating plants

...id Wingenter. These aerosols can act as nuclei for cloud formation. Increased cloudiness could block sunlight, thereby cooling Earth. "Therefore, additional DMS production in a higher carbon dioxide environment may help contribute to self-regulation of Earth's climate." "The bottom line is that carbon di...
