From John Gribbin
Haven’t the people who promote the idea of encouraging algal growth to reduce
global warming missed something
(This Week, 20 June, p 10)? All that biological
activity depends on photosynthesis, which involves absorbing energy from the
sunlight.
So it will make the oceans warmer as a result, encouraging convection and
whipping up storms, while hastening—global warming.
