Well, FWIW, he includes the following essays in his bibliography:

Ok.. I wasn't looking for bibliographical references, but actual discussion of phytoplankton, of which I didn't find any.

I know that you believe that the Iron Hypothesis is one simple and potentially very effective answer to the carbon problem.

I never stated that it was "simple". We really don't know how simple or complex it is because the research HAS NOT BEEN DONE. Furthermore, people seem hell-bent upon preventing any more research from being done. That's just not science.

However, I do believe that too much focus is on man-made CO2 emissions and very little attention, if any, given to the other side, the dying oceans that have seen phytoplankton levels decrease by up to 30%.

You just can't have a 30% decrease in oceanic flora and not deem that having a MAJOR IMPACT on atmospheric CO2 levels.

That, in and of itself, should warrant a chapter in his online book:
