A man-made mineral.

WTF??!! Iron is a man made mineral?

Then I guess Germanium and Poly-silicon are man-made minerals too??

Oh.. Wait!! Poly-Silicon (for solar cells) IS Man-Made.. How ironic.. .. ;0)

So basically you cannot dispute that Nature article, right? And you know that Nature is hardly in the "denialist" camp, right? Even they have to admit there is potential merit in the Iron Hypothesis first proposed by Dr. John Martin (now advanced to at least theory, if not scientific fact)..

1 measly Atom of Iron results in the sequestration of 13,000 Carbon Atoms and your only defense is that Iron is a "man-made" mineral? (btw, I erred in stating CO2 in the previous reference post.. CO2 is a molecule.. )

Geezus weeps.. Just admit that you've been wrong.. ok? It's embarrassing to watch you resort to such foolish arguments. Feel like I'm inflicting an intellectual public flogging upon you..
