Hurricanes absorb CO2

This article in the Virginian-Pilot outlines the case that the Earth has built-in mechanisms to counter elements of climate change.

Preliminary research, released last week by a national team [...] shows that the Earth has its own green Band-Aids - phytoplankton that bloom and spread across oceans after hurricanes.
The tiny plants absorb carbon dioxide, a heat-trapping greenhouse gas, and carry it to the ocean floor when they die.

So it seems that hurricanes, which the Greens allege are caused by global warming, serve to reduce global warming.

Babin and his colleagues think that as cooler, nutrient-rich water rises to the ocean surface, it feeds phytoplankton growth. For two to three weeks following almost every storm studied, satellite data showed phytoplankton blooms. [...]

The study suggests a global balance of power.

It will be interesting to see if the Greens call for more study on this phenomenon. My guess is that they won't since their agenda is not anti-climate change as they would have the world believe. It is, rather anti-civilization and pro-global collectivism, as any visit to the Green Party website readily demonstrates.
