Thousands of tonnes of iron will be dumped at sea in an attempt to cut global warming by sucking carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, it has been reported.
The iron will lay vast amounts of phytoplankton, which absorbs CO2 as the grow, The Times reported.

Proponents say the cost could be met by businesses to offset their carbon emissions, the paper added.

global insanity ping
They would all volunteer if they weren’t such hypocrites.
Build cars, manufacturing factories, planes and bombs.
Don't friggin' drown it.
These idiots are going to keep tinkering with the
enviroment in a vain attempt to “save” it, until
it’s the death of all. Rather like our economy.
Oh, I guess all those hundreds of thousands of tons of
shipping sunk during WWII didn’t help at all??
why does ‘dumping” anything into the sea by the ton raise the idea of “unintended consequences”?
Idiotic!

20 years from now we’ll be hearing about oxygen levels being too high and this will be blamed...
When was the last time you saw a lib volunteer for anything that wasn’t free, or require any real work? :-)
“Proponents say the cost could be met by businesses to offset their carbon emissions, the paper added.”
Ahhhh. It all makes sense now. The latest Algoreon scam
to suck money from fellow idiots.
Scientists, however, have admitted that fertilising the ocean with hundreds of tonnes of iron could have a negative impact on marine life because the dying phytoplankton would cause a reduction in oxygen.
This is actually good science.
The problem is it would take about two million B-52 flights to match one medium sized volcanic eruption.
“Scientists” who have an agenda and don’t know their butts from a hole in the ground.
There is a good name for dead Phytoplankton.
It’s called “Limestone”
Interesting. When the Mississippi River dumps a gazillion tons of red dirt containing iron oxide into the Carribean,they call it pollution and oddly enough it creates a dead zone.
Besides wasting money, these idiots are libel to create some serious unintended consequence.
So if these antiscience econut morons screw-up the oceans or other unintended screw-ups occur, do they get sued or hanged? These luddite losers need the what for. If they got arrested for polluting that would be ironic justice.
“When was the last time you saw a lib volunteer for anything that wasn’t free, or require any real work? :-)”
Read something somewhere which sums it all up.
Conservatives are producers. Liberals are parasites.
