Please click on this youtube link to a video honoring Jacques Cousteau with John Denver’s song CALYPSO. The song says it all….

Song:

To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean
To ride on the crest of a wild raging storm
To work in the service of LIFE and the LIVING
In search of the answers to questions unknown
To be part of the movement and part of the growing
Part of beginning to understand

For though we are strangers in our silent world
To live on the land we must learn from the sea
To be true as the tide
And free as the wind-swell
Joyful and loving in letting it be

Miriam: Lets REVERSE the pollution, and NOT implement seemingly curative solutions which may add other unforseen toxins and dangerous problems to the survival of All Life on Earth.

Address what the problems are and then reverse them as I stated in my previous comment, and establish clean energy solutions, and do not add to or compound to the problem with seemingly curative solutions.

All of NATURE is GOD, and we have misused, abused, and mismanaged this GARDEN. Man, no matter how intelligent and how soul and mind creative, can not see ALL the ramifications of its actions. We can NOT see the whole creative operative construct of this GARDEN as GOD can, not matter how much we try.

Man’s consciousness is too low in spiritual self awareness and vibratory spectrum. To assume that we are at a vibratory spiritual stage of development that can forsee all the implications of man’s seemingly curative actions is another proof of man’s enourmous EGO and GREED and INFANTILE stage of development.

Man’s historical destructive actions has proven that we as a collective whole have not progressed to be allowed and given the honor……LOVE this Garden and develop ethical ways and maybe there is HOPE.

The very best you can say is that the HUMANS affected were consulted through a representative process (even in the wildlife preserve example, some species would be adversely affected by letting a wheat field turn to forest.)

Even then someone who loses a home to a road might feel that they were victimized regardless of how democratic the decision. To take the extreme case, no one would find a democracy ethical if 51% of the population voted to exterminate the remaining 49%. Generally I can support seizing a home for either the road or the wildlife preserve if the need is real and if the people in the home are treated properly. Burt wouldn’t this still violate Professor Hale’s ethical principle?

Even if we became totally carbon neutral today, the earth would continue to warm for centuries (albeit not as quickly) because of the drastically elevated levels of CO2 already in the air. So non-carbon energy is necessary but not sufficient. We cannot stop global warming this way, only mitigate it. We do need to sequester atmospheric CO2. The economics of “air capture”, which you mention, are extremely impractical (we do not even have a practical means of sequestering at point sources like coal plants), but such technologies should certainly be investigated and evaluated – they just cannot be relied upon.

My main point is that ocean-based approaches must be extremely thoroughly and responsibly researched. IMHO, ocean carbon-cycle research is the most important research we can do to actually stop global warming for generations to follow. I absolutely agree that we cannot screw up the oceans. We really need to know what sequestration the oceans can safely do. So, to be clear, I am not a proponent of massive ocean fertilization. I am a strong proponent of massive research on the ocean carbon cycle.

This is also to prevent rash unilateral actions. Some country may seize upon iron fertilization as ‘the solution’ and start dumping iron into the oceans without the research and understanding to do it without ecological damage. If that country is China or Japan, we may have a larger conflict. If we start serious research now, in future years we will know a great deal more, and have scientific knowledge upon which to base debate and consensus. Is that not in line with your point?

Lastly, to your central point about deliberate manipulation. I recognize that where most people would not hesitate to recommend reforestation as much as possible, talking about purposefully manipulating the oceans tends to cause a reflex denial. It is perhaps understandable, in that the oceans are so unknown and acknowledged as vital to all life. My point is that that lack of knowledge is the problem, and we can and should be good enough stewards of the oceans to find out what we need to know – just as we have become good gardeners of the earth. Now we have a driving need to acquire that knowledge as fast as possible.

Without deliberate planetary-scale CO2 sequestration our children and generations that follow (and non-humans) will most probably face droughts, famines, hurricane, floods and underwater coastal cities? Would you consider joining me in a call for a “moonshot” research program to understand the ocean carbon cycle? Then we would have knowledge upon which to base a global discussion and consensus regarding the role oceans could safely play – that is, to be good stewards.

Red tide “Algeas” and introduced algeans can carry toxic bacteria and mutated funguses that can affixiate fish and make hazards upon our oceans. Bio-engineered crustaceans and bacteria introduced in the Gulf of Mexico to eat oil spills is creating illness on fish and humans as these organisms are not only eating the oil spills, but have jumped to attack also fish body oils, as well as humans fat/oils who have been in contact with sea water and exposed to these organism in coastal areass.

The introduction of human bio-engineered organisms and chemicals for cleanup or climate change is not the answer!!
because the full ramification of such an action can not be adequately foreseen nor guaranteed to be safe and can cause unforseen potential harm to fauna, flora and life on our Oceans and Earth.

I believe in cleaning up our waterways, cabon dioxide in our air, and pollutants through the use and application of clean energy technologies – hydrogen, cold fision, Nicoli Tesla thermal harvesting technologies. By preventing and stopping chemical discharges upon our oceans, re-engineer our coastal areas to prevent toxic chemical run-offs, stop human waste discharges upon our waters, stop bio-engineered mutated funguses by the use of Monsanto Roundup weed killers and toxic chemtrails from being sprayed and introduced in our air and waterways and land which are causing environmental kaos and human illnesses on those exposed. Close all nuclear plants and coal plants. This will Reverse the mess we have created upon our planet and our Earth.

Stop introducing bio-engineered organisms to fix a problem which in turn creates another unforseen hazardous problem….a vicious cycle. REVERSE or WE WILL DIE.

Human population can be ethically controlled by studying how many humans can certain acres of land sustain to keep the water, air, fauna and flora in surrounding area healthy. In heavily populated areas like New York a restriction of 1 child per couple, vs in Montana where 3 children per couple will be allowed. To kill humanity by introducing toxins in food, in our waters, air, and pharmaceuticals is SELF DESTRUCTIVE and will come around to bite the instigators on their ass. We must ethically manage ourselves, and respect the flora, fauana, air, and water of life as we all are inter-related and inter-connected.

IT is TIME for ETHICAL CHANGE and REVERSE our DESTRUCTION and bring HEALTH to all LIFE on EARTH. We do not have much time, we are at the point of no return….LETS NOT GIVE UP…LETS fight to instill consciousness in our societies and corrupted corporations and take pro-active action to SAVE the World we live in for future generations.

Lets give the spirits born into our future generations and future life forms on Earth a healthy clean environment in which to thrive and experience a healthy physical life and learn the lessons they are here to learn and grow.

WE DO NOT HAVE MUCH TIME!!!! IT IS UPON US!!!

Most stuff out of Woods-Hole is pretty accurate. I grew up in New England.

I think they should try this in an area where it can be monitored and the algea boom won’t kill off any oommercial fishing, etc.

Good article, it just might work. But, it will take a lot of algea, to compete with a billion Chinese cars polluting the world in the next twenty years.
