    I’ve got $100 that says that the oil as gas industry paid for this research to allow them to keep pumping fossil fuels to keep the profits flowing. Sure, it will kill the oceans but that won’t effect their profits in their lifetime.

      The irony is that your negative comment ultimately supports them doing so because you’re against any solution, but you do not bring any viable alternative into the discussion. Just stopping carbon emissions isn’t enough, the can of worms is wide open, we need active solutions to sequester carbon dioxide rapidly.

        Wow, you read a LOT into my comment that wasn’t there. By all means, though, carry on with whatever argument you’re having with me in your head. I’m too busy to participate but that definitely shouldn’t prevent you from really having at me.
