Ongoing Darkening of Global Oceans – Enormous Disruption to Albedo, Phytoplankton, and Web of Life
From Youtube @Paul H Beckwith “Basically, vast regions of the global oceans are becoming darker. Thus, albedo is being reduced, and of course this leads to more sunlight absorption and less reflection, warming the Earth in every increasing amounts. Not only that, but there are profound implications to the ocean web of life. Phytoplankton onlyContinue reading “Ongoing Darkening of Global Oceans – Enormous Disruption to Albedo, Phytoplankton, and Web of Life”
