Lay Off the Rum: NYT Guest Essay Calls for ‘Geoengineering the Oceans’ to Fight Climate Change
NewsBusters ^ | 9/18/2023 | Joseph Vazquez

The New York Times seems to get a kick out of pushing, hubris-riddled blather normalizing the ridiculous notion that governments can control Mother Nature to fight climate change.

A Sept. 14 Times guest essay whined that switching to clean energy from fossil fuels wasn’t enough of a radical change to “stave off climate catastrophe.” The essay, which had three co-authors, was adamant that “we desperately need another solution.” Their so-called “solution” was nothing short of cuckoo, and the co-authors even admitted as much: “As crazy as it might sound, geoengineering the oceans by adding iron — in effect, fertilizing them — may offer the best, most effective and most affordable way not just to slow the march of global warming but to reverse its course by directly drawing carbon out of the atmosphere.” The essay called for the U.S. government to immediately start testing the bonkers theory “now before the climate system spins off into an even more disastrous state.”

The new leftist motto, said Climate Depot founder Marc Morano to MRC Business, “seems to be: The government will control the weather, and you will be Happy."

I guess this goes to show that almost anyone can be an expert on something, doesn’t it? What I’ve seen of the “experts” in this administration makes me wonder as to what the description of an “expert” is. Some of these do certainly seem to be lunatics.

“Two months ago, the WaPo reported as a global warming horror that algae growth was turning the oceans green. https://washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/07/21/ocean-color-changing-climate-change/

- Today, the NYTimes reports that ‘scientists’ want to turn the ocean green on purpose by fertilizing algae growth to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. https://nytimes.com/2023/09/14/opinion/geoengineering-climate-change-ocean.html

Anyone connected with the climate hoax is dangerously stupid and/or dishonest.”

Sounds like the problem is fixing itself.

Actually, the proposal to seed the ocean with iron makes sense and was originally advocated for by conservatives years ago. There is also reason to believe that doing so would bolster endangered commercial fisheries.
