Phytoplankton, reducing greenhouse gases or amplifying Arctic warming?

A recent study by POSTECH researchers suggests that phytoplankton may amplify Arctic warming under greenhouse conditions, contrary to previous assumptions. The growth of phytoplankton is triggered by the melting of sea ice, leading to a positive feedback loop that warms the ocean surface and amplifies climate change.
