When ocean shipping exhaust is viewed as a solution to produce “shade” on Earth that is resignation of science rather than the implementation of science. Allowing shade will also bring elements like soot to the troposphere and then albedo is defeated.
The best idea (and we all do want the best ideas, correct?) is to return Earth’s natural processes rather than compromising them further.
There is current DISCOVERY that isn’t committed to journals yet that the oceans are ailing. It is time to implement the geoengineering of ocean seeding of iron to bring food sources to baleen whales in the way of phytoplankton.
The phytoplankton, especially algae in the upper 30 feet of the surface ocean, are vital to ocean life. Phytoplankton are primary producers and in large seeding projects will result in the reduction of CO2 and the production of planetary oxygen. It is time to throw caution to the wind and feed the oceans to escalate the production of primary producers.
I think I make my point. It is time for science to take the front seat rather than commercial interests that compromise outcomes rather than solve the problem.
Click here. It is going to take a lot more than $25 million to help Earth. If one wants to view the climate crisis as a war against greenhouse gases that might better describe the scope of the funding needed to get this done.
