Comments on: Dumping Iron Into the Ocean Might Not Save the Climate, After All http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/2009/01/28/dumping-iron-into-the-ocean-might-not-save-the-climate-after-all/ Mon, 22 Apr 2013 21:34:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Heather http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/2009/01/28/dumping-iron-into-the-ocean-might-not-save-the-climate-after-all/#comment-4780 Heather Tue, 23 Mar 2010 03:35:45 +0000 http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/2009/01/28/dumping-iron-into-the-ocean-might-not-save-the-climate-after-all/#comment-4780 The issue isn't just that it 'might not work', the issue is that it might cause more harm that good. How much of the ocean life will die because of this synthetic iron 'fertilizing' the ocean? Synthetic iron is completely different than the naturally occurring iron eroding from the volcanic rocks! People, WAKE UP! We are ruining this planet! Let nature take it's course without our 'help'. Besides, global warming has been *PROVEN* to be a hoax. Educate yourselves!

I mean it MIGHT work, therefore, if it does, that would help alot, but it wouldn't really teach us not to pollute, it doesn't involve "real" work, we will just say "Heck, our oceans are filthy again, put some more iron in them." Get what I'm saying? Well on the other hand, If it doesn't work, then we would just not deposit any iron into the ocean anymore. :) Well, why not TRY it?
