Lets bugger about with the ocean

A scientist proposes to increase the salp population & fix global warming. These little gems basically munch on CO2 rich plankton & crap out the CO2 fixed in their dropping which drop to the bottom of the sea, & goodby greenhouse gas. So, more plankton should mean more salps which should mean less CO2. And to get more plankton you need more nutrients. So use a wave pump(which uses no power, its just a long tube with a one way valve that bobs up and down in the sea & brings water from the deeps to the shallows) to bring up cooler nutrient rich water & you have more nutrients, more plankton, more salps, less CO2. As a side effect you cool the surface of the ocean a little, which reduces hurricains and, with a little luck, stops coral bleaching caused by sea warming. Hmmm.

Now, on the whole, buggering about with things you don't really understand is a bad idea. When its things that basically keep our planet livable, like, say, oceans for instance, its a really, really bad idea. I mean, you know its going to go horribly wrong. Its Australian cane toads on a global scale.

except.

I really love this idea. Their called Salps. I mean, how fun is that. Salps. You've gotta want more salps. Haven't you?
