Last week the Russian president's special envoy on climate Alexander Bedritsky said that the new document climate is unlikely to be adopted at the forthcoming un conference in Mexico in December 2010. According to him, currently 107 countries endorsed the Copenhagen agreement, 70 countries have declared their intentions and concrete proposals for document. However, how to translate the agreement into a legal agreement has not yet been decided. Recall also that until the un Conference on Climate in Mexico (December 2010), it will be a climate meeting in Bonn (May 2010). Eruption submarine volcanoes slowing global warming, and the underwater world of Antarctica – speeds As you know, today the oceans absorb about a quarter of all carbon emissions associated with human activities. Important role in this process is played by phytoplankton, algae and bacteria.
For example, phytoplankton need for the existence of dissolved iron in water, the main sources that were previously considered the dust in the wind from the land and iron-rich sediments in coastal waters. How do I find scientists from the Laboratory of Sciences of climate and environment of France, another fairly large and stable source of iron may be hydrothermal vents submarine volcanoes. According to the authors of the study, the amount of iron coming from deep-sea volcanoes is relatively constant, and it involves approximately 5-15% of the total carbon sequestration in the Southern Ocean, considered one of the main 'drive' of carbon. It should be noted that in some regions this figure goes up to 30%. Thus, hydrothermal vents may act 'suppliers' of dissolved iron in water required phytoplankton, which absorbs carbon dioxide, and restrains the human impact on the atmosphere. Ultimately, these processes lead to a slowing down of global warming on our planet, say scientists from France and Australia.
