Climate Change keeps changing

I'm a believer in Global Warming. I think it's happening. I think we're causing it.

But I have to admit there's still a lot we don't know.

On the other hand, we learn a bit more each day.

Take this for example:



Basically, they've discovered a new negative feedback loop in the processes of climate change. Iron released into the ocean by melting icebergs encourages plankton to absorb more CO2, thereby ever-so-slightly reducing Global Warming.

Understand, though, that we're still putting out more CO2 than the plankton are going to be absorbing. This is not a reason to celebrate that all our problems are solved. Global warming is still a problem.

We can celebrate that we're learning more, though. The more we understand about the processes of climate change the better we'll be able to cope with the changes.

Here's another reason to celebrate our ongoing learning: NASA is launching a satellite that will map from where the CO2 is coming, and to where it's going. This will be useful.
