As Radiation Destroys the Food Chain of the Pacific -- Even Worse -- The Plankton Cycle Affects the Weather In a Negative Cycle

stock here-- I have shown how "Chitin" [pronounced Kai-Ten] absorbs radiation like a sponge, and
that radiation is one of the few things that can damage/break apart Chitin.

Phytoplankton and ZooPlankton shell is composed of Chitin.   Radiation kills these small marine plants and animals, which is the basis of the ocean food chain.

See below, Plankton make clouds in the sky.  No joke.    Cloud help keep things cool.    Was the "blob" of warm water actually caused by a radiation kill off of the Plankton and Krill.   Indeed.

Hat tip to CodeShutdown for this  weather find as well as the original Chitin idea

Each stage of this food chain does its utmost to survive, battling both the creatures that rely on it for food, and the natural environment. This evolutionary ‘arms race’ can lead to some truly astonishing connections, that are far from immediately obvious. Over the last few decades the diverse combination of satellite imaging, marine biochemistry, atmospheric chemistry and meteorology have revealed that phytoplankton can bend the weather to their advantage, seeding clouds to protect themselves from harmful UV radiation.
