LOL. You and your phytoplankton. You crack me up. BTW, natural processes include phytoplankton. There was nothing in my post that would disagree with your claims that phytoplankton loss is means we have less CO2 sink capability in our natural processes.

The only disagreement you and I have with phytoplankton is the root cause of phytoplankton loss. You think it is due to runoff from fertilizer and I think it is due to increased ocean acidity from increased CO2 levels. But we both agree on the impact of phytoplankton loss, namely further increases in CO2 levels.
