Oceans' role in climate change limited
WASHINGTON, April 27 (UPI) -- U.S. and international researchers say carbon dioxide is often recycled in the Pacific Ocean's "twilight zone" instead of sinking into the deep ocean.
Because the carbon often never reaches the deep ocean, where it can be stored and prevented from re-entering the atmosphere as a greenhouse gas, the oceans may have little impact on climate change, the National Science Foundation said Friday in a release.
The study, published in the April 27 issue of the journal Science, says carbon dioxide is often consumed by animals and bacteria and recycled in the dimly lit twilight zone located 300 to 3,000 feet below the ocean surface.

Dear Editor, April 28/07
Recent research by Henrik Svensmark and his group at the Danish National
Space Center points to the real cause of the recent warming trend. In a
series of experiments on the formation of clouds, these scientists have
shown that fluctuations in the Sun's output cause the observed changes in the
Earth's temperature.
In the past, scientists believed the fluctuations in the Sun's output were
too small to cause the observed amount of temperature change, hence the need
to look for other causes like carbon dioxide. However, these new
experiments show that fluctuations in the Sun's output are in fact large
enough, so there is no longer a need to resort to carbon dioxide as the
cause of the recent warming trend.
The discovery of the real cause of the recent increase in the Earth's
temperature is indeed a convenient truth. It means humans are not to blame
for the increase. It also means there is absolutely nothing we can, much
less do, to correct the situation.
