If iron locks up CO2 and CO2 is unrelated to warming, no harm done.

If iron locks up CO2 and CO2 causes warming, and we are actually warming as a result of CO2, then good deal.

If iron locks up CO2 and CO2 causes warming, but we are actually on a long-term cooling trend at the end of an inter-glacial period, then Holy Snowblower, Batman, it’s gonna get freaking COLD on this planet!

Yep - the sun seems to be on a downward trend of magnetic activity, which means more cosmic rays hitting the atmosphere, which means more water droplets forming, which means more clouds/rain, which matches the beginning of the Little Ice Age (1315).

This phenomenon is repeatable in a laboratory; not dependent on some fraudulent computer simulation.

Purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) is not a native species; it was introduced to North America in the early 1800’s from Eurasia. Settlers imported plants for their gardens and seeds were present in soil used for ballast on ships. Since those early beginnings, purple loosestrife has found its way into wetlands in nearly every Province and State in North America.

Lythrum salicaria, an invasive species that crowds out native species and disrupts water flow patterns.

Beginning in the 1980’s, the common “japanese beetle” was introduced as a biological control. A voracious feeder and natural predator of the loostrife.

Only after the introduction of the japanese beetle did science find out that the beetle (who is also a voracious breeder) didn’t feed exclusively on the plant. Several ornamental plants found throughout the great lakes region became infested. Ornamental roses in particular were found to be decimated in various locales.

They never learn, do they?
