Pico Planktos
EXCERPT:
This story is about a proposal, by Planktos, Inc., to stimulate large-scale natural marine plankton blooms by "iron seeding", in-situ, for the purpose of scouring carbon dioxide from the air. Why do this? One reason is that if our collective response to Climate Change is limited to lessening future CO2 emissions with better technologies today, these same technologies may be used more intensely in the future. Such a narrow focus also overlooks legacy emissions of CO2 that will remain in the stratosphere for decades, possibly capable of cascading us, in one highly uncertain scenario, to a catastrophy which no amount of new technology or life style changing could reverse. The Planktos proposal would mitigate both the legacy CO2 emissions and future emissions from higher performing technologies. The response time for plankton stimulation is relatively short and done with more finality than other biotic mitigation techniques, such as tree planting. And, it does something crucial that "carbon sequestration", can not, which we'll explain a bit later.

Ocean alive marine phytoplankton
EXCERPT:
Ocean's Alive is a living Marine Phytoplankton (ocean micro-algae) that is combined with a special organic natural formula immediately upon harvesting. This captures the original life essence of the marine phytoplankton and preserves it in that state for years at room temperature.

Calls for Massive Chemtrail
EXCERPT:
But this time, the same “quick-fix” mindset that brought us DDT, ozone-eating CFCs, global nuclear fallout, a deluge of DNA-altering chemicals, personal microwave radiation devices, deep ocean oil well blow-outs, chemtrail spraying, biological warfare, depleted uranium weapons and a seemingly endless “catastrocopia” of similarly innovative disasters may be stopped in time.

Ocean iron seeding
EXCERPT:
The idea, which got its name from a tonic touted to treat the effects of iron-poor blood, asserts that seeding the oceans with iron will dramatically increase levels of phytoplankton and therefore draw more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Evidence from ice cores shows that huge blooms of phytoplankton—the microscopic algae that are the basis of the marine food chain—occurred in the waters of the Southern Ocean during peaks in ice ages.

SEEDING THE OCEAN

[link to news.cnet.com]

Later this month, a crew from a company called Planktos will head for waters near the Galapagos Islands to see whether lowly plankton have a role in mitigating climate change.

The idea behind the venture is to create plankton "blooms," or large-scale growth, by seeding the ocean with iron, which stimulates plankton growth. As the plankton grows, it consumes carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, and removes it from the atmosphere.

Planktos is not the first to come up with the idea of capturing or sequestering carbon through plankton blooms. But the Foster City, Calif.-based company appears to be the first trying to commercialize ongoing research on the topic.

During the trip, the crew of about 16 will seed thousands of miles of the Pacific Ocean with iron. After the growth phase, a percentage of that plankton will die and sink. Once the plankton are below 500 meters, they sequester the consumed carbon for centuries, said David Kubiak, director of communications for Planktos.

"We're mostly concerned with plankton that get below 500 meters. It puts them in deep enough ocean currents that they are out of the atmosphere for centuries," he said. "Below 1,000 meters and we're talking millennia."

EXCERPT:
Seeding the oceans with iron is a viable way to permanently lock carbon away from the atmosphere and potentially tackle climate change, according to scientists who have studied how the process works naturally in the ocean.

Man made air pollution helps iron deficient ocean
EXCERPT:
Acidic clouds are feeding bioavailable iron to the oceans – a discovery which sheds light on the natural processes that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Scientists at the University of Leeds have proved that acid in the atmosphere breaks down large particles of iron found in dust into small and extremely soluble iron nanoparticles, which are more readily used by plankton.

Update: ocean seeding experiment underway
By Greenbang on Wednesday, 28th January 2009 The controversial on-again, off-again mission of the German research vessel Polarstern is now on: the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research reports that it has begun seeding the waters around Antarctica with iron sulphate.
