NASA hints that thinning sea ice may slow impact of global warming

Turns out that increased amounts of CO2 could actually help the planet stave off the effects of global warming.

That is the consensus of a team of NASA scientists, according to a newly published report, which finds that a growing body of microscopic plants may eventually provide the Arctic ice with additional time.

NASA researchers say microscopic plants could serve as a solution to increasingly high rates of CO2, one of the key contributors to global warming. The team of scientists suggest that the large quantities of phytoplankton, recently discovered growing under sea ice, could pull in large amounts of the greenhouse gas, possibly curtailing any potential consequences of global warming.

The report finds that the microscopic plants, commonly known as phytoplankton, are actively growing under the thinning Arctic ice, leading scientists to say that the phytoplankton growth in the Arctic may now be richer than any other ocean region on Earth. The large patch of phytoplankton was previously unknown to scientists and it remains unclear whether the bloom existed before the ice began to thin, or it is simply the result of the thinning ice.
