A photo open source American entrepreneur Russ George spent $ 2 million on dumping into the Pacific over 100 tons of iron sulfate in an attempt to achieve mass flowering plankton. When plankton begins to multiply actively, then consumes large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and then carries it with him to the bottom of the ocean, thereby rendering beneficial effects on the climate.

George himself, in turn, looks at his project with optimistic. According to him, a certain group of scientists is watching the progress implementing this geoengineering experiment using equipment borrowed from NASA and the National Administration oceanic and atmospheric research. “We have collected information, which will dispel all possible fears regarding fertilizer ocean iron. Good news, “the newspaper quotes George as saying The Guardian. Previously, a businessman made attempts to produce similar large-scale discharges of iron sulfate near the Galapagos and Canary Islands, but only achieved the fact that the authorities of Spain and Ecuador prohibited its ships from entering their ports. According to information Wikipedia, geoengineering is the intentional manipulation of the planet in global warming.
