I'm not sure how many times I have to tell you I'm a GW agnostic... did you think you were arguing with someone else?

You were arguing that my opinion regarding GW was part of the "fringe". By default that suggests that you were in agreement with GW science.

So are you part of the fringe, or the IPCC conformist pseudo-scientific community?

At least I realize I'm eminently unqualified to judge the science.

Do you think that scientific theories are beyond the grasp of common logic?

My analysis of the CO2 issues I'm referring to are based upon extensive reading of both pros and cons. Now maybe you failed your HS biology and earth science curriculum, but I actually enjoyed those subjects. But it's not very hard to understand the atmospheric CO2 increases should be part of the natural self-balancing ecosystem, should sufficient other resources necessary to plant growth exist.

Besides, the late John H. Martin, and subsequent scientific experiments showed that utterly "dead" areas of the ocean are actually dormant due to lack of specific nutrients (iron/silica.. etc). When they "seeded" these "dead zones" with quantities of said nutrients, there was an almost immediate increase in phytoplankton growth.

Now.. I don't know how much more proof a simpleton like yourself requires to understand the concept. If there are dormant phytoplankton in dead zones of the oceans that almost instantly bloom when the proper nutrients are added, we have to ask the question why there are insufficient nutrients in the first place.

It's really no different than if you grow plants in a hydroponic tank. You can add all the water and sunlight you want, but nothing will grow if you don't have the proper nutrients.

Is that simple enough for you?
