To get this thread started, our friend Dan Hogan at ScienceDaily posted this Story back in 2007. Possible Fix For Global Warming?Environmental Engineers Use Algae To Capture Carbon DioxideApril 1, 2007 — Engineers have designed a simple, sustainable and natural carbon sequestration solution using algae. A team at Ohio University created a photo bioreactor that uses photosynthesis to grow algae, passing carbon dioxide over large membranes, placed vertically to save space. The carbon dioxide produced by the algae is harvested by dissolving into the surrounding water. The algae can be harvested and made into biodiesel fuel and feed for animals. A reactor with 1.25 million square meters of algae screens could be up and running by 2010. www.sciencedaily.com/videos/2007/0407-possible_fix_for_global_warming.htm |

That implies there is a problem in the first place. ;D
We had "Financial Engineers" that caused the Global Financial crisis.
Now we'll have "Environmental Engineers" plunging us into the next ice age early.
Ignorance & stupidity is always obvious in hindsight.

I'm sorry for not getting back to you magellan. From what I could find, SD did not post the reports.

March 13, 2009, 1:07 pm Shipping Carbon Dioxide to Sea for BurialBy James Kanter Ship A.P. Moller-Maersk A large Danish shipping company says it can carry greenhouse gases to burial under the seabed, as an alternative to pipelines. Building new pipelines to transport and ultimately bury greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, captured from industry and power plants, is rather expensive — a potential impediment to the spread of the technology known as carbon capture and sequestration, or C.C.S. A.P. Moller-Maersk, a large Danish shipping and oil company, said it might have part of the solution. greeninc.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/03/13/shipping-carbon-dioxide-to-sea-for-burial/ |

[Dream starts]
I'm going to have my lawyer send a letter to Moller-Maersk, threatening a class action by all agricultural concerns should they be successful in cooling the planet.
They will then be pre-warned and have no excuse. Then immediately they ship their first load, I'll have the net temperature difference they caused (using IPCC approved equations), used to calculate the damage to World agriculture.
.0000001% damage to the World's wheat, rice & other crops will be quite substantial.
I think I'll ask for a 1% comission ....... ;D
[Dream ends]
