The good news just keeps on giving.

>>According to a new study, ocean acidification seems to increase the amount of nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas, that’s released into the air.<<

>>And now a new effect has been uncovered by researchers at EPFL, Tokyo Institute of Technology and the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC). According to the team, more acidic waters release more nitrous oxide into the atmosphere. And once it’s up there, its greenhouse gas effect is almost 300 times more damaging than CO2, as it depletes the ozone layer.<<

>>“Our study provides additional proof that rising CO2 emissions are disrupting natural biogeochemical cycles, which are highly sensitive to changes in the environment,” says Florian Breider, lead author of the study. “Our study shows that under the right conditions, one greenhouse gas can increase the production of another, more damaging one. So it’s essential that we keep conducting research in this area.”<<

At least we can laugh our heads off as we head to our demise.

nowadaze
every time I hear “Japan”
I think of Fukushima disaster

news flash:
I ain’t et a tuna fish sandwich
since it took place, and never will again

my point; might a dose of radiation be a factor?

and how will that be reflected in the drop in ozone?

it’s a speculative chem experiment, and we’re in the test tube.
