      What the article talks about is that a study pointed out a long-term climate process involving algae. As the planet warms, it can lead to larger and more frequent algal blooms in the oceans due to warmer waters and increased nutrients. When these algae die, they sink and sequester carbon in deep-sea sediments, effectively removing it from the atmosphere for a very long time. Their research suggests that the process would take thousands of years to result in significant global cooling. It’s an extremely slow, natural feedback loop. The researchers emphasize that it operates on a timeline that is completely irrelevant to our current, human-caused climate crisis.

      But hey, why read the actual article when you can just throw a tantrum like a child.
