#1 This strikes me as very dumb. Triggering blooms is not a good idea. Nor is dumping nitrogen into the oceans.

Sure you'll have blooms for a while, but the mass die off after could easily trigger some really nasty 'unintended consequences'. The impact to the oxygen cycle during and after the bloom is not good.

#3 I could be wrong but it almost sounds as if they are saying our increased sanitation of human waste is a factor in global warming. That would mean humanity is part of gaia, part of the circle of life, and not some abstract plague. How could that be? Where is the Goracle, I need guidance.

#4 This makes no sense. People are already complaining about increased nutrient loads in US rivers from agricultural runoff and its possibly causing oxygen depleted "dead zones" in the ocean. Now they want to INCREASE that phenomenon?

#5 Since when have the Neo-Luddites been afflicted with logic and reason? Thinking is VERBOTEN! You must FEEL and act without thought. Only then will paradise be possible....after we wipe out everyone but the Elite so we can not have so many flyover peoples mucking things up.
