My Green Science Thought for the Day: Biomass not only ties up carbon, but water as well, think "carbohydrate" at the molecular level for a ratio. So if we increase the biomass, i.e. replaced the WET jungles that have disappeared, etc, how much would that make the sea levels decrease, or compensate for the rise from polar ice caps melting? No math just yet ...
I created the term "Carbohydrate Glacier" - when I searched for it on Google, there is only one hit, and clicking on the link doesn't have that term in it(?) Google doesn't have a cached version of that web page, so essentially it isn't available to confirm by Google. I search the trademark of the Federal Government's database at uspto.gov, but didn't find a match there. The Bing search engine does not have any references to "carbohydrate glacier" either. So maybe I am the inventor of the term.
