Wharfie that's silly conjecture. As for where the algae ends up, take a look at the bottom of the ocean. There is sediment there kilometres deep. If you chuck stuff in the water, it ends up on the bottom. The Titanic and a lot more besides are in the process of being turned into sedimentary layers. The "lethal acid" isn't a worry to humans because humans don't go in the water now because white pointer sharks eat people and they are protected and breeding like rabbits, killing everything, such as the nearly extinct hector's and maui dolphins. Those dolphins are protected, but for some reason the great white sharks ignore the regulations. Killer whales [renamed orcas to make them seem cuddly] also like to eat hectors and maui dolphins like M&Ms. Killer whales don't know about conservation. They like to eat the tongue out of grey whales and leave them to die. They don't do catch and release, though I saw a video of one pushing a baby seal up onto a beach after flicking it around and having fun with it. What a story that baby seal had for its mother. Maybe spreading organic iron around the oceans isn't a good idea, but it's quite predictable that the Green bandwagon wouldn't like it. Because it's done by people, it's ipso facto a bad thing. On the precautionary principle, it shouldn't be done, they say. Maybe it would cause the ocean to turn solid or something too. Anyway, unless it makes good fish food, iron seeing is probably an unnecessary expense. CO2 in the air is a good thing. So best to leave it there as long as it will stay. Plants and the ocean are removing it fast enough. When Peak Oil and Peak People arrives in 2037, you'll find CO2 starts dropping, though perhaps Peak Coal and Peak Bitumen will be after that. Mqurice
