Go crustaceans!

[valkyry1]

Doh!

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Don’t you love these “nature experts” who haven’t the slightest idea what nature is really all about?

[The_Reader_David]

Unless the beasties all the way up the food chain exhale all the CO_2 that the phytoplankton converted into sugar, there would still be a net removal of CO_2 from the atmosphere. (Not that it really matters, since excess CO_2 is a trailing indicator of global temperature, as we now see clearly these last ten years.)

[Merlinator]

That will teach these Algore acolytes to mess with mother nature. The crustaceans outsmarted these libtards

[Islander7]

LOL! Such is life!

[bgill]

Which is then eaten by humans.

[GeronL]

lol

[Old Professer]

How mant Yugos does it take to make a whale?

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

The “scientists” don’t really know very much.

[Eaker]

Ping for later.

[Doogle]

Obama’s so-called experts to the tune of billions

[Redmen4ever]

Another example of anthropological climate change.

What fun they were having under the sea!

[NonValueAdded]

but wasn’t the carbon stored? perhaps not in the body they expected it to be in, but so what? Isn’t this success staring them right in the face? Isn’t Ted Danson dancing a jig (sorry, Whoopie) for the revitalization of the ocean possibilities?

[P.O.E.]

Big fleas have little fleas
upon their backs to bite ‘em.
Those fleas have still smaller fleas
and so ad infinitum.

[rmlew]

This may be an unintended result, but it does not destroy the findings. Rather it shows that carbon would be spread through out the food chain.

[Donaeus]

More proof that God indeed has a sense of humor!

A Biological Option: Seeding the Oceans with Iron

“Give me a half tanker of iron, and I will give you an ice age”. This was the inflammatory words from the American oceanographer John Martin who, for the first time in the early 90’s, establishing the iron hypothesis and proposed a way to artificially increase the oceans absorption of the carbon dioxide released by the burning of fossil fuels. Martin noticed that large areas of the ocean were almost devoid of phytoplankton despite the presence of large amount of nutrients required for their growth. He further determined that those “paradoxical zones” were indeed lacking iron, a micro-nutrient essential for life. Martin’s theory was that iron fertilization of the surface ocean will stimulate phytoplankton growth and take in so much carbon from the atmosphere that it could reverse the greenhouse effect and cool the Earth.
