Just like so many other issues the enviro-extremists get their dirty claws in, such as refusing to allow clearing of brush, which then causes more massive wildfires, climate alarmist fixes are worse than the actual “problem”
Fertilising the oceans with iron to absorb carbon dioxide could increase concentrations of a chemical that can kill marine mammals, a study has found.
Iron stimulates growth of marine algae that absorb CO2 from the air, and has been touted as a “climate fix”.
Now researchers have shown that the algae increase production of a nerve poison that can kill mammals and birds.
Writing in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, they say this raises “serious concern” over the idea.
The toxin – domoic acid – first came to notice in the late 1980s as the cause of amnesiac shellfish poisoning.
Hey, great frakkin’ idea, alarmists! You should be proud, you have truly outdone yourself in the “hey, y’all, watch this!” competition.
