Algae Will Avert Climate Change… By Destroying The Human Race!
Posted on 20. Oct, 2009 by Ross in New Technologies
Here at Energy-Saving News, we think algae’s great. From algae-based biofuels to algae batteries; from algae which produce hydrogen for fuel cell cars to cleaning up coal pollution and turning it into fuel, algae are beginning to dominate the cleantech environment.
However, the explosion in interest in algae as a bioengineering solution to climate change has now taken a dark twist, according to new research done by Clemson University researchers (PDF).
Toxin-producing algae were a deadly factor in mass extinctions millions of years ago, and current environmental conditions show significant similarity to times when previous mass extinctions occurred.
Geologist James W. Castle and ecotoxicologist John H. Rodgers spent two years analysing data from ancient algal deposits
