Have we not yet learned that all actions have reactions? Those algal blooms kill or drive away many pelagic fishes, thus opening the door for a jellyfish explosion, due to an increase in their food source. The oceans are already in danger of becoming jellyfish predominant as a result of overfishing the small fish such as sardines that eat the juveniles.

We have no clue as to the long range effects of dumping gigatons of iron into the ocean, however, I do know what David Brower said about these situations in general….”In games of environmental brinksmanship, the best step to take is backwards.”

The best way to cure the oceans is to QUIT putting sh*t in it in the first place, establish fishing quotas that will create sustainable populations, and start treating our spaceship as if it were essential to our survival…..it is, you know!

If it can process in a better way to control CO2 Emission into the Atmosphere, it’ll help to decrease some sort of Global Warming, as presently, Fossil Fuel burning is producing 5-6 Gigatons of CO2 anually into the Atmosphere…

Periodotite is also predominent in a metamophosed

mineral called serpintinite which is the California state rock, found in fault zones aroud the pacific rim.

Serpentinite is associated with asbestos.

I wonder if non gem grade periodotite can be found and adinistered in a powderized form into CO2 rich ocean waters and what byproduct chemical effcts would be present?

Thank you, so much! As a Ph.D student at Stanford, I was so glad to find this article! This will definitely help me on my research for “Global Change.”

Thanks!

Um…this reaction is pretty well known. Calcite is calcium carbonate (lime,limestone, marble). If you mix it with water you get calcium bicarbonate. Other scientists are currently working to do the same thing with the lime in eggshells. I guess the story is the supercharging of the process?

Since when did India become a major pollution contributor?
