of course they will.

ever hear of corn?

how about wheat?

Fisherman won't have fish when the phytoplankton has died, which will affect the rest of the food chain.

phytoplankton are in no danger of dying out.

Think about it. This stuff doesn't just spring up out of nowhere. That's like saying our food comes from the store.

keep smackin' while you contemplate the fact that the great bulk of what we eat is pollenated by wind, not bees.

But to be specific, the scientists are:

Autumn Oczkowski, a research ecologist at the E.P.A.’s National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory Atlantic Ecology Division in Rhode Island

Rose Martin, a postdoctoral fellow at the same E.P.A. laboratory

Emily Shumchenia, an E.P.A. consultant

Apparently, you think that scientists who work for the EPA are "fake" scientists or something. Everything you people don't like gets labeled as "fake" these days.

If you can't understand the simplified reply that I gave to your previous question, then it's because your mind is closed. I'm not going to waste anymore of my time answering questions about science from someone who obviously has no desire to actually understand it.

I read the article. there are no scientists there having even the remotest part in keeping me or anyone else fed.
why you demand that we should thank them if we like to eat, is truly a conundrum. why not thank a plant geneticist or a soil scientist or bovine veterinarian? at least that would make some sense.
