Antarctic plankton may save us from climate change

Fascinating. And best video on the NIWA channel yet! Keep it up

A teensy-weensy tiny-tad bit of an extremely big problem... the radiation from the Fukushima ELE has been killing off the plankton. The radiation from the Fukushima ELE is killing off the phytoplankton and atmospheric oxygen levels have been dropping because oxygen is no longer being replenished like it used to be. It doesn't take long for oxygen to be used up in one way or another.

And... a double whammy of as the planetary ocean continues to warm, the methane hydrates are melting and releasing their methane. Methane oxidizes, removing breathable oxygen from the air. More the methane, less the oxygen. Bye-bye oxygen.

But hey, who really needs oxygen to breathe anyway? Hasn't the need to breathe oxygen just been so... overrated...? Particularly when there will be more than plenty of nitrogen left to breathe!

Honestly it's about time we started messing with them in labs to try make them super

Grass is a relatively new abundant resource on the planet and should not be used as an example of a typical food source. Besides, many animals cannot digest the type of carbon that is found in grass.

I think they mean seagrass

Current apparent dominance of large scale life is a short blip on the Earth's evolutionary story.

Mars is back to very simple life forms.

What climate change? You must mean season’s. Right? That’s the on,y active climate change going on now and into the indefinite future. That’ll all change of course if the nearest star to Earth start’s getting pissy.

Can you really not tell by looking how unhealthy your planet is?
