One interesting fact - The world's 290 Million ponds absorb more carbon than the oceans do.
acherontia may i ask where you got that stunning piece of information from.
it's absolutely incredible.
i've read quite a lot on the environment and climate change (i'm in no way an expert though) and i've never come across this before.
i know 290 million ponds is a lot of ponds but the ocean is a mighty big place too. wow !!! :-)
