...taking with them the globe-warming carbon dioxide pulled from the atmosphere by the phytoplankton they fed on. That CO2, once absorbed, is kept from doing any more harm. It's not enough to cancel out human-generated greenhouse gases, but it doesn't hurt. [This article contains a complex diagram. Please see hardcopy...
