"Our study shows a long-term basin-scale increase in coccolithophores and suggests that increasing CO2 and temperature have accelerated the growth of a phytoplankton group that is important for carbon cycling."

Was this suppose to be a surprise? Phytoplankton is at the bottom of the food chain for aquatic animals. More phytoplankton should mean more food for them.

Phytoplankton and Diatoms are so beautifully geometric, almost as if they were designed by arty math nerds on their computers.
