Icebergs may deposit nourishing iron into ocean, helping carbon-sucking plankton
(NEWSER) - Melting ice sheets may end up helping the planet battle global warming, the Guardian reports. Scientists say that broken ice in the Antarctic disperses iron, which fertilizes carbon-absorbing plankton and helps reverse some effects of climate change. “We see the rapid ice loss in Antarctica as one obvious sign of climate warming," said one scientist, "but could it be the Earth's attempt to save us from global warming?” More»
