And btw, this agenda vs facts thing you mentioned...the stuff that comes from Singer, Morano, Monckton and the SEPP crowd...is it driven by "facts" or the far right wing political "agenda" they spread or just money from the oil and coal companies who are so oh so concerned about the planet environment? You certainly have shoveled your BS toward that crowd. So what are your qualifications to make the determination? What's your education, what's your work field. Of course you left wing types don't have a political agenda do they?...., Nah. Truth seekers are wanting to know.

Did you bother to do even the most shallow google query to check my facts before you decided to shoot off your mouth?? It's a widely known fact in the oceanographic community. gsfc.nasa.gov In fact, some are even trying to claim that acidification of the oceans, due to GW, is the cause. I personally think that theory is BULLSHT. Acidification comes from too much CO2 saturating the water, BECAUSE there is insufficient Fe Iron and other minerals (Silica.. etc) available to promote phytoplankton growth. If there is more CO2 and nearly unlimited nutrients, water, sun, it should result in dynamic phytoplankton growth. Dr. John Martin finally figured it out by asserting that iron deficiency in the oceans was causing phytoplankton depletion due to Chlorosis. Here's some links to start you on your education. First off, the science of how iron deficiency in plants decreases their ability to produce chlorophyll, thereby inhibiting photosynthesis, and thereby CO2 uptake and sequestration. en.wikipedia.org John Martin (who deserves a Nobel Prize, IMO) and the Iron Hypothesis: palomar.edu earthobservatory.nasa.gov nature.com Secondly, the result of wind-born, iron laden, dust on phytoplankton growth. guardian.co.uk news.discovery.com climatefoundation.org bbm.me.uk Some have theorized that the advent of soil conservation efforts in Asia and other parts of the undeveloped world has resulted in a decrease of wind-born, iron laden, dust to the oceans. Without that iron*, it doesn't matter how abundant the other nutrients are in the HNLC (High Nutrient/Low Chlorophyll) oceanic zones. That should be enough to get you started.. And then you can ponder why such an obviously logical scientific premise is being UTTERLY IGNORED, if not DELIBERATELY OBSTRUCTED by the GW community. Maybe it's just too simple a solution to alleged CO2 threats to our world.. Or maybe it undermines "the plan" to assert more control over human beings by controlling their CO2 emissions. Hawk
