You right wing nuts need to realize that this is undoubtedly bad news ... because even though plankton reduces carbon dioxide ... this newly discovered batch is emitting its own toxic gasses ... and increasing global warming ... and are killing fish ... and enlarging the hole in the ozone layer ... and destroying rain forests ... and causing a hydrocarbon spill in the fragile arctic environment ... and leading to mass extinctions ... and it's all because you selfish pigs continue to drive your SUV's and use power lawn mowers ... which is why we need much more government funded research ... and a carbon tax!

Holly Crap, its eating up all our CO2, gotta stop that or our story goes plop!!

The carbon dioxide and minerals to feed these Arctic blooms most likely comes from volcanic eruptions under the ice.

Algae would be very receptive to massive amounts of CO2 and nitrous oxide gases trapped under the ice, as this would be pure nutrients.

Importantly, the upwelling of warm water from such volcanoes could go a long way in explaining thinning Arctic ice as well.

From the article,

“NASA has revealed its discovery of a massive algae bloom under the slowly diminishing Arctic ice.”

Arctic ice extent is extremely cyclic but has been increasing for the past several years, since a low in 2007. So how do the warmists react to this data. Generally they try to ignore the more recent data. But there have also been many articles in the last several years trying to explain why there is more arctic and antarctic ice in a “warming world”. In these articles they usually assure us that a rapid decline is just around the corner.

Plumes of algae most likely due to thermal vents on floor of Arctic ocean. Much to complicated for loons like Gore to understand though.
