I've been doing some theoretical work on genetically engineered
phytoplankton and other organisms that might alleviate greenhouse
warming.

Interesting discussion about money, so here is my 2 cents worth :) -

I have posted about Diatom Algae and Nualgi yesterday and day before,
so I will not repeat the contents.
Nualgi can be used on any scale and is profitable from day 1.
The profits can be used for research into Geoengineering.

Dr Keith

We would like to suggest Diatom Algae as the best geoengineering
solution.
We have been using Diatom Algae to solve various problems in the past
5 years.
Diatom Algae are the most useful of all Phytoplankton and the least
problematic.
In fresh water lakes and rivers they increase Dissolved Oxygen level

Mr Capron
Diatoms increase the dissolved oxygen level within minutes.
Thus anaerobic conditions are converted into aerobic conditions.
In raw sewage that emits Hydrogen Sulphide due to anaerobic bacteria, use of
Nualgi stops the generation of H2S within hours and thereafter aerobic
conditions prevail as long as Nualgi and Diatoms are present in the sewage.

M V Bhaskar,

Do you have a feel for how well the Nualgi mix would recycle in an open-ocean bacterial anaerobic digestion process? With bacterial anaerobic digestion, you should be able to use Nualgi to start a bloom and then keep the bloom going by recycling the nutrients.

Does your success targeting diatoms with Nualgi suggest you could make other nutrient blends that would suit macro-algae or other aquatic plants?

Dear Geo-group;
Please find attached a (2) page process to help
neutralize ocean acidification.
I will appreciate your comments and evaluation.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,

Hi Everyone

I joined this group today and this is my first post.

We are working on a very specific solution of using Diatom Algae to
solve many problems.

I have been reading about the issue of Ocean Fertilization for the
past 1 year and find that there is some ambiguity in the literature.

Dear Mr. Caldeira;
Yesterday, Nov 4 - 09, I sent (two) geoengineering submissions
regarding "Economical Reef Systems".
They were either lost in the transmission, or I was denied access
to your geoengineering blog.
As you are the moderator, I wanted to have you become aware of
this situation.
Sincerely,

NSIDC Reports 05.11.2009. The Seasonal Arctic Sea Ice Are Loss Hits a New Record Low (first time in 2009)

Hi,

RE: NSIDC: ARCTIC SEA ICE LOSS HITS 5th NOVEMBER NEW RECORD LOW
(FIRST TIME IN 2009) See the attached images and links.

NSIDC's latest sea ice area timeseries shows today the Arctic sea ice beating first time (on 5th November 2009) the previous 2007 all-time record lows of the area of the Arctic Ocean covered by the sea ice.

There is still no mention of the context for, and hence requirements
of, geoengineering - especially saving the Arctic sea ice. Yesterday's
congressional hearing [1] was most disappointing in this respect. But
perhaps Brian Launder can strike a new note - he's one of the few

A needed counterpoint here...

The concept of indulgences is a good analogy for the voluntary carbon
market-- but remember, the voluntary market is only 1/100 of the
regulated market in volume-- and no one argues that the voluntary
market will address the problem. In a sense its more like society's
