"As much as a third of the nitrogen entering the world’s oceans from the atmosphere is man-made," according to a team of 30 scientists writing in the American journal Science<\/em>. "It’s not as good a thing as some people would like it to be," Peter Liss, of the
\nUniversity of East Anglia, told Reuters.<\/p>\n

In theory, extra nitrogen acts as a fertiliser to spur growth of microscopic plants that absorb carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas blamed for global warming. But the study — by researchers in nine\u3000countries, including China — said there were unwanted side-effects — including the production of another greenhouse, nitrous oxide, and\u3000possible disruption to marine life.<\/p>\n

Some scientists argue that artificially pumping nitrogen into the\u3000oceans should be eligible for credits as part of United Nations plans to slow global warming beyond 2012. "But you couldn’t get carbon\u3000credits for all of it," says Liss. "Two-thirds of the carbon will be released again in the form of nitrous oxide.<\/p>\n
