It has been suggested that global warming could be halted by fertilizing the oceans to increase the growth of algae. how might this affect the greenhouse effect?

Algae absorb carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas, as a part of photosynthesis.  Other plants also do this, but algae grows the quickest.  Hope this helps!!!
