I've been saying this for a while. These kooks have no idea what they're doing but it won't stop em. Man made volcanoes, this iron dumping nonsense (Like WWII didn't fill the seabeds with iron) Lord only knows what else these lunatics are dreaming up.

"A California businessman chartered a fishing boat in July, loaded it with 100 tons of iron dust and cruised through Pacific waters off western Canada, spewing his cargo into the sea in an ecological experiment that has outraged scientists and government officials.

The entrepreneur, whose foray came to light only this week, even duped the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the United States into lending him ocean-monitoring buoys for the project."

Off Canada....

I bet someone is pointing the finger the other way.

Well, people like al Gore have warped these people's minds into thinking the planet will die in our life time if we cannot reverse man-made global warming ASAP.

Plankton absorbs carbon dioxide, the predominant greenhouse gas, and settles deep in the ocean when it dies, sequestering carbon. The Haida had hoped that by burying carbon, they could also sell so-called carbon offset credits to companies and make money.

Iron fertilization is contentious because it is associated with geoengineering, a set of proposed strategies for counteracting global warming through the deliberate manipulation of the environment. Many experts have argued that scientists should be researching such geoengineering techniques — like spewing compounds into the atmosphere to reflect more sunlight or using sophisticated machines to remove carbon dioxide from the air.
