We know next to nothing about how the world actually works.


Quite an interesting research facility!

When a toddler, my father would tell me a particular story at night to put me to sleep - how holes get into cheese.  
Then, as now, it's all about bacteria and farts...special bacteria produce carbon dioxide bubbles in Swiss Cheese.

Today's story is all about the ocean/atmosphere boundary, the reaction of bacteria found there to CO2 (They Grow Faster), and the consequences (They Eat More), and thereby fart CO2 back into the atmosphere!  It's a positive feedback loop.

Look forward to more acidification of oceans, atmospheric heating, and even more human caused climate chaos...
