Carbon Sequestration
An Anonymous Coward writes "Yesterday the Boston Globe printed an article about 'carbon sequestration' techniques - an example of which involves injecting carbon dioxide into the ocean as an answer to greenhouse warming. The Bush administration is supporting this as the preferred alternative to emission controls."
... let's fuck with the oceans! Considering our already limited ability to modelize long term weather in the current know conditions, it's 20/20 clear that we also should mess with the main thermal and CO2 regulator of the planet. Great idea. Just great.
Exxon's profits are soooo important (for GWB, at least).

Oil baro^H^H^H Democratically electe^H^H^H Dubya advocates dumping tons of toxins into the oceans over more responsible action (Kyoto protocol) to "reduce greenhouse gas emissions"? Isn't that like building a bigger toilet to cure an over-eating problem? Or declaring a war on drug...oh, never mind.
I've been farting into the couch for years. I have yet to get caught.
Now if only we can get the beer companies to dump thier excess hops in too... I can't believe it, my ultimate dream is so close to coming true!
"Your superior intellect is no match for our puny weapons!"
Yea, but think of the ready supply of carbonated water for Coca Cola & Pepsi :-) Who needs fish when we have Coke !

Well, actually, the carbonic acid would quickly be consumed by algae, as carbon is probably the growth-limiting nutrient in ocean environments. We would have massive algae blooms, which would hopefully be consumed quickly by plankton and other critters. Assuming the algae wasn't one of the many highly toxic varieties. Hopefully it won't cause massive red tides and kill off huge populations of... wait, never mind. It still beats having multiple gargantuan hurricaines circling the globe because of global warming. Boy, all this stuff stresses me out. Think I'm gonna take the wife and kids up to the mountains in the Suburban for some fresh air.
