Good. The plankton will feed those starving whales.
AKA, the international equivalent of taping a "Kick Me" sign on the hall monitor's back. :)
“...raised concerns that it can irreparably harm ocean ecosystems, produce toxic tides and lifeless waters, and worsen ocean acidification ...”
I guess we’ll find out soon enough.
Whatever the details of this project are, the United Nations has less authority than an anthill.
A) There is no global warming problem
B) the powers that be don’t want a global warming solution like this, even if there was a global warming problem
C) only leftist fanatics are allowed to make money off of phony-baloney things like “carbon credits”
LOL Pay up, Algore!
I would call this bio-engineering not geo-engineering FWIW.
Glowbull Warming ping.
By 2017, the resulting changes to the ecosystem and the global economy had started having real impact, causing massive upheaval to human life, economically and environmentally. One impact was the great famine of 2017, which lasted until 2024. By 2020 most survivors had sold everything they owned, to the emerging god like powers, who had become rulers over the earth, during the upheavals.
I think this is hilarious.
To start with, these waters are almost sterile because of the lack of iron needed as a nutrient, so a little bit goes a long way.
However, the bit about carbon sequestration is utter hooey.
But something *is* being accomplished that will likely cause chaos, not with the environment, but with environmentalists.
That is, when you create a profusion of “low level life”, like plankton, the end results is progressive bulges of life up the food chain. In this case, first of the small creatures that eat plankton, then of the small creatures that eat the small creatures. Then larger creatures on up the totem pole.
The end result will likely be something of a population explosion among fish. And that throws the eco-nuts off schedule, because they want to end fishing.
so the UN rules the world now?
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.
10,000 square kilometers is only 3,821 square miles.
FU, UN! We'll make our own rules.
But isn’t this just the typical activity found in any free market system?
