Nasa finds another effect of climate change in Artic

WASHINGTON -- Scientists have made a biological discovery in Arctic Ocean waters as dramatic and unexpected as finding a rainforest in the middle of a desert. A NASA-sponsored expedition punched through three-foot thick sea ice to find waters richer in microscopic marine plants, essential to all sea life, than any other ocean region on Earth.

Basiclly they found large plankton blooms-the kind that eat co2 and feed ocean animals in the artic where it normally is thought to be impossible due to ice acting as sunlight blocker
