Penguin Guano in Antarctica May Help Cool the Planet | Happy Eco News
Penguin guano in Antarctica releases ammonia that combines with ocean sulfur to form cloud-seeding particles. These particles help create low clouds that reflect sunlight, possibly cooling the climate. Scientists tracked ammonia spikes near penguin colonies and are exploring how wildlife contributes to weather systems, including long-term impacts on cloud behavior.
