Lets see if I got this right?
Mercury is occurring naturally in the environment, so we must shut down factories to save the environment from mercury that’s not coming from factories.
How’d I do? Did I get close?
How’d I do? Did I get close?”
Almost. The factories that are not responsible for these emissions will still need to cap and trade their CO2 emissions to offset this new finding.
Even environmentalists need to make a living.
There is no need to shut down these factories.
All they need to do is buy my mercury credits.
Now that the ice is back they need another gravy train

Some mercury in the atmosphere comes from volcanoes and forest fires (since all plants contain at least small amounts of mercury). However, by far, most mercury in the atmosphere is human-caused, and it mainly comes from three sources: burning coal and oil (since the plants these fuels came from contained mercury), incineration of garbage (mostly due to batteries and fluorescent bulbs) and cremation (from dental fillings).
maybe we should consider shutting down the environment since it seems to be the cause of all this worry. There fixed it.
I think you’re so close you may have won something.

How is Blum assuming that open sea water, evaporating into a vapor into the lower humidity Arctic air, is carrying/transporting/releasing mercury compounds?
Desalinization plants work ONLY because water vapor CAN’T carry salts and chemicals in the (very concentrated!) source water into the vapor that’s in the air above the salt water.
