Not to take anything away from the what appears to be an exciting design.
But, I hope I am not the only person to take issue with the words "environmentally responsible" and "only water as a byproduct" when in reference to the atmosphere.
Atmospheric water vapor is one of the the greatest contributors to the greenhouse effect.
Potential injury to marine life aside - I'm interested to know how such a system can overcome the extreme variability of seawater. From what I just read this isn't as simple as sonar sending a circular pulse out and getting a 'bounceback'; this is sending information. Surely the abundance of microorganisms, animal matter, let alone local variations in saline and other chemical content which strongly define the physical properties of seawater would be difficult to adjust for?
Along with chaos theory, I propose the scientific method and fundamental understanding of earth science and in particular geological time should also be taught as prerequisites!
You're exactly right.
And if you do a quick bit of research, you'll find that there was an equivalent (but far less prevalent) movement only a few decades ago toting global cooling and how everything was going to freeze and we'd all die.
There is no such thing as scientific consensus.
Only non-scientists keep using this phrase. The scientific method dictates that all knowledge has to be re-evaluated constantly. Blind belief and 'consensus' belongs somewhere else, that is called religion.
My friend's old network had machines named after members of the band MetallicA.
I currently name my devices after rocks & minerals. E.g. Argentum (silver laptop), Zircon-mineral used to date the oldest rocks (archive server) etc
Perhaps wikipedia requires updating, there is ample evidence that Stromatolite's were present up to 3,235Million Years Ago.

Who says there was no land 4Billion years ago? I'm standing near some of that age right now.
Aren't we trying to reduce the amount of space junk?
Mine was within my block but not quite dead...still worrying.
isn't this what microsoft did with windows 7?

2) Several tens of writers (mostly NOT climate-scientists) funded by money directly linked to fossil fuels.
Oh hang on, you're referring to the IPCC here are you?

oh no, im sure the government would never hinder business. especially if they invented a wonderful new tax called Carbon Dioxide.

The lowest form!?! Sarcasm is the purest form of humour.
actually that would be the Danish. :>
