-Scientist understands that CO2 is a greenhouse gas and recognizes that GHGs are increasing rapidly.

And you know that I, having a bit of interest in the question of how phytoplankton impacts CO2 levels, have to add that atmospheric CO2 level increases have pretty much coincided with decreasing levels of oceanic phytoplankton. In fact, nearly at a 1:1 ratio, percentage wise.

And I think that is a correlation that suggests nearly criminal scientific negligence amongst the AGW prognosticators who fail to incorporate it into their climate models.

The primary question I have is why those phytoplankton levels have decreased. I have gut hunch that possibly CO2 emissions by humanity has exceeded nature's ability to provide sufficient Iron and other trace nutrients so that phytoplankton can actually metabolize and sequester that excess CO2.

But if that is the case, then the solution is pretty clear.. Augment (ie: fertilize) the oceans with Iron and those other trace elements in order to restore a balance (what that balance should actually be is another question)..
