WOW! What a wonderful sight. Just imagine how much oil this algae will generate when Obozo’s green energy loons figure out how to do it!!!!!
Isn’t producing more CO2 kinda like watering the lawn? More junk in the air the more grass we get, I’d vote for that I like green lawns.
Holly Crap, its eating up all our CO2, gotta stop that or our story goes plop!!
The carbon dioxide and minerals to feed these Arctic blooms most likely comes from volcanic eruptions under the ice.
“Arctic Volcanoes Found Active at Unprecedented Depths”(2008)

Algae would be very receptive to massive amounts of CO2 and nitrous oxide gases trapped under the ice, as this would be pure nutrients.
Importantly, the upwelling of warm water from such volcanoes could go a long way in explaining thinning Arctic ice as well.
“NASA has revealed its discovery of a massive algae bloom under the slowly diminishing Arctic ice.”
Arctic ice extent is extremely cyclic but has been increasing for the past several years, since a low in 2007. So how do the warmists react to this data. Generally they try to ignore the more recent data. But there have also been many articles in the last several years trying to explain why there is more arctic and antarctic ice in a “warming world”. In these articles they usually assure us that a rapid decline is just around the corner.
“But a projection like this requires that you accurately measure the phytowhaterver count every year. To my knowledge, there was not/is not a yearly plankton census commencing in 1912.”
So, you picked number 2....
