    I mean, sort of?

    We created a big problem by injecting a lot of shit where it shouldn’t be. If we stop that, some pieces will bounce back.

    Injecting more shit in another place means we have one big problem, that we haven’t stopped, and now a new problem that we don’t know the repurcussions of or how to reverse.

    So uh, yeah, I’ll stick with the one beast we know over one we know and also another we don’t.

      It’s okay to say you don’t understand marine chemistry, there is no shame in it.

      The whole “seed the oceans with ferrous oxide” idea isn’t mine. In fact many better minds came up with it. You can check it out if you want, no pressure.

            It’s funny, because your own ignorance is showing. There’s plenty of research to suggest that iron fertilization is controversial, which directly contradicts your (very condescending) assertion.

              Again, not my assertion but go on about my ignorance. Of course not all scientific papers agree. That’s why we have field testing and peer review.

              I aquaculture cnidaria and get paid for algae abatement so maybe you could trust me a bit.

                My point is that you’re being dismissive of very reasonable concerns that are supported by published scientific literature. Further, rather than address those concerns directly, you chose to deflect with condescension and belittlement.

                So no, I’m not going to trust you, because the only thing that you’ve done to prove your point is be an ass.
