HA HA HA! I win! I win!... now what?
so the UN rules the world now?
Only one black guy in the entire movie and they make him wear a full metal mask and costume
This could turn out good or really bad
“ Some red tides are associated with the production of natural toxins, depletion of dissolved oxygen or other harmful effects, and are generally described as harmful algal blooms. The most conspicuous effects of these kind of red tides are the associated wildlife mortalities of marine and coastal species of fish, birds, marine mammals, and other organisms.”

The culprit in this case is not even the global warming alarmists, it is the legal translation of their alarms into carbon-credit financial schemes.
Greed is not fiction, but it always requires opportunity and often truly free markets don’t create opportunities for it as much as does government meddling that creates artificial economic advantages. Wherever the government steps in, opportunity for greed and then greed itself often follows.
Screw the U.N.
U.S. out of the U.N.,
U.N. out of the U.S.
“The end result will likely be something of a population explosion among fish.”
I wonder how long the 100 tons of iron sulfate will last? So yes, more fish for awhile. But the “right” fish? And in the meantime does the natural rhythm and locations, etc. of commercial fish get disrupted? (Like the normal salmon fisheries being near the coast - but now 200 miles out of reach by the fishermen?). I have no idea on fishing, biology, etc.
But hope these guys looked into stuff more than just “Hey - ya know all that iron sulfate waste we’ve been paying to get hauled away? Lets dump it in the ocean somewhere and watch plankton grow.”
OTOH- if it works well - great! As another poster said, I guess we’ll find out. And as long as the guys waits to see what happens without dumping more and more in, whatever bad (or good) effects the stuff has will no doubt be limited in time and extent.
VERY well put!!
10,000 square kilometers is only 3,821 square miles.
wouldn’t it make more sense to spread the iron across the ocean than in one spot??
3861 actually...not 3821 (typo)
Well if the motivation is carbon credit cash...then I am not so confident they have looked into to it carefully.
How does this differ from our agencies deciding which animals are worthy of reintroduction into our wilderness lands? A private company chose to do this rather than get it approved by the Heritage Program beforehand?
Introducing wolf breeds to the forests or sinking a ship to encourage a coral reef to grow are similar, aren’t they? Many of our lakes have annual algae over growths due to fertilizers runoffs. Man messing with nature or should I say experimenting?
FU, UN! We'll make our own rules.
But isn’t this just the typical activity found in any free market system?
Bravo!
Thank goodness someone began to experiment.
CO2 is GOING to go up. India, China, et al, could care less what the environazis want. They will use coal because it is cheaper.
I think AGW is a hoax at present. However, there could be effects when CO2 is much higher.
Locking carbon up in plankton and sea life is a great idea.
If we discover problems, we can just stop the fertilization. Nature has run this experiment in many areas where land minerals are washed into the ocean and set off rapid growth of plankton.
Much the same scenario has occurred to me.
If this scheme works (sequesters large quantities of carbon), it could be worse than anything Goldfinger, Dr. Evil, Lex Luthor, or the Joker could come up with. Taken to extreme (and given the perverse incentives, and whack job characters involved, why wouldn’t it be taken to extreme?) it could trigger a new ice age. For once, the UN got something right. This madness needs to be stopped.
Sorry, but, the UN never gets anything right.
