More than twenty years ago, a biological regulation of climate was proposed whereby emissions of dimethyl sulphide
from oceanic phytoplankton resulted in the formation of aerosol particles that acted as cloud condensation nuclei in the
marine boundary layer. In this hypothesis—referred to as CLAW—the increase in cloud condensation nuclei led to an
increase in cloud albedo with the resulting changes in temperature and radiation initiating a climate feedback altering
