I’ve been talking about this kind of technology for thirty years. It’s nice to see it finally happen.
So what happens when they stop dumping Iron Sulfate into the water?.....................
Good find! Thanks1
“long-barren oceans”
What did I miss? Are we using Soylent Green already. GW alert.
bkmk
Luddites. Idiots. Morons.
Go live in cave and eat slugs.
Kudos to neverdem
One of the most important posts in ten years.
To all- please ping me to Canadian topics.
Canada Ping!
This is an actual quote?!
What can men do against such reckless stupidity...
“once we start deliberately interfering with the earth’s climate systems — whether by dimming the sun or fertilizing the seas — all natural events can begin to take on an unnatural tinge”
OKaaayyy....and pray tell what would the “Global Warmist” want to do to “FIX” the climate if NOT “interfering with the earth’s climate systems” ? ?
Success, but the GW idiots didn’t think of it, so its a problem for them......not the Salmon.
great post!
This is freaking awesome. I might have a pink salmon filet tonight, although sockeye is really my fave.
This article makes a lot of good points; but it is also misleading, because it conflates “ open-sea mariculture” with “geoengineering”.
The Haida wanted more salmon, and they succeeded. That’s the open-sea mariculture part, and so far it’s been a good thing.
OTOH, Russ George (and others of his ilk) are interested in geoengineering — so that they can make a bundle, selling carbon-offset credits. George tried this years ago, and got shut down.
While it would be great to rid ourselves of carbon rationing, by the simple expedient of dumping iron filings into the ocean — there’s a large risk of going too far. Several year ago, oceanographer John Martin said: “Give me half a tanker of iron and I’ll give you the next ice age.” The intent of geoengineering with iron filings would be to get rid of only the “surplus” carbon dioxide. Of course, the problem is determining how much CO2 is surplus (if any).
This is a lot riskier than the article makes out.
Very interesting. Thanks.
A few years ago, they said Global Warming was going to kill all the Salmon off
B.C.'s sockeye salmon may not survive climate warming: Study
This will work great until the Orcas figure it out, and their population starts to grow to meet the expanding population of food.
That said, this appears to be pretty good news, especially the part where they didn’t take taxpayer money to accomplish it.
Outstanding column. Thanks for posting it.
“worked”!?!?!?!
Wait until the EPA finds out about this and fines them BILLIONS$$$$ for “polluting” our oceans with iron sulfate, and then charging them for the cost of extracting the “pollutant”!
After the debacle with CO2 and the courts, don’t you dare try to tell me about how “natural” iron sulfate is!
Using the libs’ own logic back on them, it would appear that the environuts are all racists because they are waging war against the economic survival of the Haida tribe in Canada. Someone should represent the Haida as a sovereign nation and establish their international right to seed iron sulfate in the northeast Pacific, the historical waters of their historical food source. Anyone who opposes them is just a racist.
