It might. How politically correct?

The evolutionary history of diatoms -- abundant oceanic plankton that remove billions of tons of carbon dioxide from the air each year -- needs to be rewritten, according to a new Cornell study.

That would be unfortunate. I read the first book and it took me eons to finish.

If libs say global warming. Plan on global cooling.

[Brilliant]

But the real question (as it usually is in these studies) is which way was the causation?

A good rule of thumb in biology is, if you want truly “heavy hauling” done, the easiest way is with microorganisms.

A great illustration of this is a plankton bloom at sea, which can raise the surface temperature of the water by two or three degrees over a wide area. This can increase the strength of a hurricane by a factor.

When it cooled the carbon dioxide was sucked up by the oceans deep water and the bacteria died off. Of course there was a corelation. Just not the one they’d like us to believe.
