And, again and again, I have told you the temperature, pH and other elements are no longer optimum, due to changing levels of atmospheric GHG. If they weren't optimum, the fallout of that iron laden volcanic ash would have resulted in nothing happening. This is like you telling us that symptoms of iron deficiency in the human body are actually preventing the body from utilizing that Iron, so it's a waste of time to supplement it. Or more like what doctors were telling me as my father was wasting away in the ICU. They had him so shot up with Antibiotics that it was disrupting his ability to digest anything, since the drugs were killing the good bacteria in his gut as well. I asked to them supplement him with strong doses of probiotics, which would cause little to no harm to him, but they continued to resist the idea until it was just too late to make a difference for him. Therefore, he grew even weaker as they pumped liquid food into him through a "J-tube", and he pumped it right back out of his bowels, undigested. Again, if salinity and Ph were such a problem, no matter how much Iron was supplemented to the ocean waters, phytoplankton would not grow when iron was added (naturally, or through human supplementation). The patient (Phytoplankton) responds VERY FAVORABLY when Iron is supplemented. Furthermore, when phytoplankton blooms flourish, the acidity problem is mitigated by CO2 being consumed and removed from the surrounding waters. Therefore, the problem causing phytoplankton decreases is Iron deficiency, not Ph,, temperature, and salinity (which greatly varies from one region of the oceans to another). Failure to recognize and understand this makes your diagnosis nothing more than "Quackery".. Iron in the oceans, like vitamins in the human body, must be replaced either naturally, or through supplementation. Hawk
