But the study &#8212; by researchers in nine\u3000countries, including China &#8212; said there were unwanted side-effects &#8212; including the production of another greenhouse, nitrous oxide, and\u3000possible disruption to marine life.<\/p>\n<p>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. &quot;But you couldn&#8217;t get carbon\u3000credits for all of it,&quot; says Liss. &quot;Two-thirds of the carbon will be released again in the form of nitrous oxide.<\/p>\n<p>\nSee <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.planetark.com\/avantgo\/dailynewsstory.cfm?newsid=48367\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">full
