Ocean Iron Fertilization in the Context of the Kyoto Protocol and the Post-Kyoto Process
Ocean iron fertilization is currently discussed as a potential measure to mitigate climate change by enhancing oceanic CO2 uptake. Its mitigation potential is not yet well explored, and carbon offsets generated through iron fertilization activities could currently not be traded on regulated carbon markets. Still, commercial interests in ocean iron fertilization already exist, which underlines t...
متن کاملOcean fertilization: a potential means of geoengineering?
The oceans sequester carbon from the atmosphere partly as a result of biological productivity. Over much of the ocean surface, this productivity is limited by essential nutrients and we discuss whether it is likely that sequestration can be enhanced by supplying limiting nutrients. Various methods of supply have been suggested and we discuss the efficacy of each and the potential side effects t...
متن کاملIs ocean fertilization credible and creditable?
It is possible that the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide, which drives global warming, could be partially mitigated by adding iron to ocean waters. In their Policy Forum "Dis-crediting ocean fertilization" (12 Oct., p. 309), S. W. Chisholm et al. argue that "the known consequences and uncertainties of ocean fertilization already far outweigh hypothetical benefits." We believe that they ha...
متن کاملMindfulness in cultural context.
Mindfulness meditation and other techniques drawn from Buddhism have increasingly been integrated into forms of psychotherapeutic intervention. In much of this work, mindfulness is understood as a mode of awareness that is present-centered and nonevaluative. This form of awareness is assumed to have intrinsic value in promoting positive mental health and adaptation by interrupting discursive th...
متن کاملGeoengineering, Ocean Fertilization, and the Problem of Permissible Pollution
Many geoengineering projects have been proposed to address climate change, including both solar radiation management and carbon removal techniques. Some of these methods would introduce additional compounds into the atmosphere or the ocean. This poses a difficult conundrum: Is it permissible to remediate one pollutant by introducing a second pollutant into a system that has already been damaged...
