A team of scientists is looking to dump chemicals into waters off the coast of Massachusetts this summer to research whether doing so could be an effective counter to ocean acidification and climate change, according to The Wall Street Journal. The project would see researchers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) pour approximately 6,000 gallons of sodium hydroxide — a component of lye — into waters ten miles away from Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, in August 2024, according to the WSJ. The research project, estimated to cost about $10 million in total, will receive taxpayer funds from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) provided the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) signs off on releasing the chemicals. The underlying concept is to see if the basic sodium hydroxide can reduce the acidity of ocean waters and make those waters more efficient repositories of carbon dioxide, according to the WSJ. Sodium hydroxide is a common ingredient in soaps and cleaning solutions, and it can be harmful to humans in high concentrations, according to the Tennessee Department of Health.

yes, typical rudderless scientists  trying to discover how many angels can stand on a needle head, when they should be determining how to speed up the transition to renewables. 

Speed it up with Unobatainium?

BTW- You didn't get back to me as to where you got your climate "data". ;)

ooohh-Kay. I can now see your Avatar picture THE GREAT DIVIDE and its a picture of a woman.  :-/ :-?

There's nothing wrong with being female. Gweggy was one once. ;)
