Models of carbon dioxide in the worlds oceans need to be revised, according to new work by UC Irvine and other scientists published online Sunday in Nature Geoscience. Trillions of plankton near the surface of warm waters are far more carbon-rich than has long been thought, they found. Global marine temperature fluctuations could mean that tiny Prochlorococcus and other microbes digest double the carbon previously calculated. Now, if they could just measure their respiration, excretion, and decomposition products, we might just be getting somewhere.

All of that climate science research money ought to be redirected....thing I would start with the shop that Dr James Hansen heads up.
Sent that Money to UC Irvine.
