Confusing statement

[edit]

The science section states: "iron concentrations limit growth more locally than they do on a global scale." This is rather vague, and is not quantitative. If net growth is increased globally, might that be worth consideration, after considering other effects e.g. on biodiversity? —Jamesray1 (talk) 03:27, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DMS cloud mechanism critique

[edit]

The section, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_fertilization#Dimethyl_sulfide_and_clouds, doesn't discuss the possibility that increased cloud cover would also result in increased greenhouse gases, thus not only is it highly uncertain as to how much cooling would result, the effect may be a net positive feedback loop or net negative. In other words, the uncertainty band extends in both directions.—Jamesray1 (talk) 04:53, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Iron Salt Aerosol content added

[edit]

I have added some new sections to this page with the following headings:-

  • Methods
    • Ship based deployment
    • Atmospheric sourcing
      • Iron Salt Aerosol

including information about an alternative to ship based deployment of iron fertilization of the ocean, i.e. atmospheric deployment and specifically the Iron Salt Aerosol method. I am in contact with the author of the paper and am involved in my spare time with voluntarily researching the Iron Salt Aerosol method. My involvement is unpaid and not commercially motivated.

article saying it might not help

[edit]

I haven't read this carefully yet. Maybe someone else can figure out whether to use it. 2601:648:8202:96B0:E0CB:579B:1F5:84ED (talk) 07:49, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's right. It's not a feasible solution. I've added some sentences about that to the lead, also at ocean fertilization. More could be done to update this article and to make it clearer that it's basically a no-go. EMsmile (talk) 13:44, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
: Just something to note, the line "Research in the early 2020s suggested that it could only permanently sequester a small amount of carbon." links to a news article which never refers to any research done on Iron fertilisation. It only mentions that it and many other simpler solutions are considered moot. Consider removing or linking the sentence to a research article.[1]161.29.24.84 (talk) 09:20, 28 February 2024 (UTC)User:PolarbearHug[reply]

removed further reading list

I've taken out the "further reading list" as it was arbitrary, outdated, US-centric:
