    Coursera doesn't give out degrees. they actually teach useful courses. And Fuck Minnesota for extending their reach to curtail people's rights, a state buffoon isn't qualified to tell the worth of a degree.

    A university or college can be unaccredited while having particular programs that are accredited. There are some hugely famous universities that fall into that category.

  14. Re:Forgiveness comes easier than permission! on Huge Geoengineering Project Violates UN Rules · · Score: 1

    the United States constitution does not allow delegation of federal government duties, nor usurping powers granted to the states or to the people. The UN is a threat to the sovereignty of the United States.

    You fail to understand that man has been plundering the oceans for several decades and major fishing stocks are depleted. This adding of a *nutrient* to essentially create more fish food is beneficial. The oceans are supposed to be teeming with life, but we are killing them with increased acidity due to carbon dioxide making carbonic acid, and with plundering rather than farming & management. This experiment is a step in the right direction. the oceans are supposed to be teeming with life, that does not deserve the adjective "swampy".

    Tiny Experiment in Reducing Carbon Dioxide Pollution is Success

    By putting a nutrient for plankton in the the ocean, a 60x60 plankton bloom will provide food for a Native American tribes salmon stocks. Moreover, the solution might work on a large scale to reduce the Earth's manmade carbon emissions. The inital venture was an amazing success, and any possible harm from implementing this long ago proposed geoengineernig activity can for the first time examined with real data.

  17. Re:How does this work? on Huge Geoengineering Project Violates UN Rules · · Score: 1

    Plankton sequester carbon dioxide in their shells which go to the bottom of the sea, that's how. this is a viable means of reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide and also replenishing the plundered fishing stock of the world. there is in truth no known downside, despite the alarmist crap in the article. great this experiment was done, putting nutrient in ocean to beneft plankton and the food chain above them.

    The U.N. has no right to tell a sovereign nation what to do, if the Canadian government wants to interfere that's fine, but those Al Gore types with their carbon credit scams and cap & trade scams can suck on it, this is the very least dangerous problem that will cause. Already documented billions of cap & trade fraud in europe, whereas this process will actually reduce atmospheric carbon.

  18. Re:Phyto-Plankton Produce Oxygen? on Huge Geoengineering Project Violates UN Rules · · Score: 1

    how? plankton are fish and whale food. this was a fantastic experiment and I'm glad it was done. the scale of it is tiny (60 x 60 mile)

    it is not illegal. the UN has no right to any sovereign nation what to do, and in fact should not even exist.

    this was a good experiment, putting a nutrient in the ocean. there is no known harm from this small 60x60 mile experiment (as opposed to the garbage and oil spills which *do* cause harm).

    I'm glad someone had the courage to try this very viable solution to carbon dioxide pollution

    no, we shouldn't care because they put in a nutrient that plankton like, on a scale that is miniscule (60x60 miles). there can be no long-term damage from an experiment on this scale. this is a viable solution to reducing carbon dioxide pollution in the atmosphere, and I'm glad someone had the balls to do it on a tiny scale so we can assess whether larger scale would in fact cause lasting harm. this was a good thing to do.
