It has long been hypothesized by scientists that a solution to global warning would be in plankton. Plankton are known for their ability to absorb large amounts of carbon. Iron helps plankton grow quickly, so the idea was to stimulate the plankton population with iron in order to get rid of carbon dioxide in the air. However, when they experimented in the ocean, in a place where there were large quantities of iron, their hypothsized amount of carbon to be absorb turned out to be an overestimation.

I believe that these experiments will affect the world for one main reason: global warming is something that has affected us and will affect us. The solution will impact our lives as well as future generations. It is an issue many people don’t think about, but one that should be looked at more closely by many people.
