ROLE OF THE SEA TO RESOLVE GLOBAL WARMING ISSUE
"The Role of Phytoplankton in Global Warming"
Global warming is one of the popular issues in human life at this time. The increase in annual average temperatures and rising sea levels are phenomenons that is proofing of the existence of global warming. At this time, a lot of solutions that try raised by the experts in addressing global warming continues.
One is with the help of the processes that have occurred at sea, such as the presence of phytoplankton in dealing with global warming.
One cause is identified as one cause of rising annual average temperature is the existence of carbon in the atmosphere. The existence of carbon causes the greenhouse effect that causes heat energy trapped in the atmosphere and are not able to bounce back out, causing rising temperatures. Therefore, the need for efforts in reducing the amount of carbon in the atmosphere, where one of them by increasing the number of the existing presence of phytoplankton in the ocean. As is known, the phytoplankton are living things that make the process of photosynthesis, and the process requires a carbon substance in the process. Therefore, the presence of phytoplankton then there will be conversion of carbon contained in the CO2 gas into a gas 02 that is the result of the process of photosynthesis.
Currently, there is need for the presence of phytoplankton inventory efforts in the wild. The goal is to predict the level of absorption of carbon by the phytoplankton. In addition, it can also be monitoring the presence of phytoplankton, phytoplankton growth can be monitored so that, if there is an increase or decrease the number. In this inventory effort needs to be balanced with conservation efforts and development of phytoplankton populations in the sea.
