These inflammatory words centered around a theory known as the iron hypothesis. Martin professed that by sprinkling a relatively small amount of iron into certain areas of the ocean, known as high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll zones (HNLCs), one could create large blooms of those unicellular aquatic plants commonly known as algae. If enough of these HNLC zones were fertilized with iron, he believed the growth in algae could take in so much carbon from the atmosphere that they could reverse the greenhouse effect and cool the Earth. Martin's theory sparked a tremendous debate. Unlike most of the unusual, somewhat esoteric theories that float about the scientific community at any given time, Martin's idea had teeth. It could be tested and it had the potential to impact the world on a

Ieri sera RAI 2 ha mandato in onda un servizio sulle scie chimiche, all'interno della trasmissione condotta da Roberto Giacobbo, Voyager. I giudizi sul reportage sono stati contrastanti: alcuni plaudono a Giacobbo ed alla sua iniziativa; altri, invece, ritengono che il servizio sia stato morbido, incompleto e capzioso. Credo che non ci si potesse certo aspettare uno spaccato esauriente ed oggettivo, dal momento che sono stati interpellati tre "esperti" organici al sistema ed un solo ricercatore libero. Inoltre le parti più significative e dirompenti dell'intervista rilasciata da Straker sono state sforbiciate.

It is now more than three months since the last visit of the oil tanker Keewhit to Bruichladdich pier. The tanker is chartered by Shell UK from Whitaker Tankers to deliver heavy oil and diesel fuel to the island. All Islay distilleries are now using oil brought onto the island in road tankers via the CalMac ferries. The Ileach understands that after more than a year of extremely erratic supplies of oil which caused a number of operational problems and interruptions to production schedules, several distilleries have welcomed the increased reliability that has come with receiving oil deliveries by road. The fuel brought in by road tanker is 'marginally' more expensive than oil brought in by sea, but the continuity of supply offsets the relatively small additional costs. The need to use fe

The Attorney General`s Office on Wednesay questioned former state enterprises minister Laksamana Sukardi for the third time in connection with alleged graft in the sale of two super tankers of state oil and gas firm Pertamina. The Attorney General`s Office has already questioned a number of people, including former chief of the defunct Indonesian Bank Restructuring Agency (IBRA) Syafruddin Temenggung in his capacity as a member of Pertamina`s board of commissioners. The alleged graft case started when the company`s board of directors and its chief commissioner, without approval from the finance minister, sold the two very large crude carrier (VLCC) super tankers under construction at Hyunday Heasy Industries in Ulsan, South Korea, for US$148 million. Believed to have caused a financial loss of US$20 million to US$56 million to the state, the transaction was also a violation of Finance Minister`s Decree No.89/1991 as the finance finister`s approval was issued only on July 7, 2004
