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.
You are being very pretentious.
Yup.
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.
