#Regram #RG @nasaclimatechange: The simplest life forms can make a big impact on our global climate. When animal plankton (zooplankton) and bacteria munch on plant plankton (phytoplankton), organic compounds the plants produce get broken into itty bitty pieces. These small particles become aerosolized, which means they get lofted out of the ocean and into the atmosphere by wind and breaking waves, where they become the condensation nuclei around which water droplets form. So when these tiny creatures of the sea multiply, bloom events, such as the one shown above, end up influencing clouds.

Clouds both reflect sunlight, which cools the Earth, and trap heat in the same way as greenhouse gases, warming the Earth.
