Microorganisms in the surface layers of the ocean are known to produce dimethylsulfide, DMS, which escapes into the atmosphere. DMS in the air leads to the production of particles that act as seeds, or nuclei, for cloud droplets to form. More solar energy means more DMS, which means more cloud cover and less solar energy reaching the sea -- a stabilizing, negative feedback, just the opposite of the kind of runaway positive feedback envisaged in Mahlman's scary scenario. 10, record 1, English, - %28methylsulfanyl%29methane

De nombreuses espèces planctoniques fabriquent de grandes quantités de diméthylsulfure, ou DMS. Lorsqu'il se trouve oxydé et transformé en aérosol sulfaté, le DMS fournit la majeure partie des noyaux de condensation qui sont à l'origine des nuages au-dessus des régions océaniques éloignées des continents. 8, record 1, French, - %28m%C3%A9thylsulfanyl%29m%C3%A9thane
