Antarctica Glacier Retreat Creates New Carbon Dioxide Store; Has Beneficial Impact On Climate Change
ScienceDaily (Nov. 10, 2009) — Large blooms of tiny marine plants called phytoplankton are flourishing in areas of open water left exposed by the recent and rapid melting of ice shelves and glaciers around the Antarctic Peninsula. This remarkable colonisation is having a beneficial impact on climate change. As the blooms die back phytoplankton sinks to the sea-bed where it can store carbon for thousands or millions of years.
The Breakthrough Institute: Climate McCarthyism Part 2: Equate Your Political Opponents with Holocaust Deniers

In this post we will see how Joe Romm uses the tactic of guilt-by-association to suggest that experts he disagrees with, including advocates of strong governmental action on global warming, are industry-funded "global warming deniers."
“SuperFreakonomics” and climate change : Elizabeth Kolbert - The New Yorker
A world whose atmosphere is loaded with carbon dioxide, on the one hand, and sulfur dioxide, on the other, would be a fundamentally different place from the earth as we know it.
