- Scientists revealed the mechanism by which blue-green algae were killed by viruses called cyanophages. This new discovery is expected to enhance the absorption of carbon dioxide by blue-green algae. The ability to absorb carbon dioxide by blue-green algae will help slow global warming in the future. http://healthichs.com/scientists-revealed-the-mechanism-by-which-blue-green-algae-were-killed-by-viruses-called-cyanophage/ 5 comments science
- New research suggests that in recent decades green plants have ramped up photosynthesis in response to rising carbon dioxide levels, soaking up more of the heat-trapping greenhouse gases and slowing the rate of global warming http://www.pri.org/stories/2016-12-05/plants-are-ramping-photosynthesis-help-absorb-all-our-carbon-dioxide 126 comments science
