The Sulu Sea
‘fertilization’ project
|
|
A swell of criticism has greeted
a proposal to “fertilize” the Sulu Sea by reducing carbon
dioxide in the surface layers and in the atmosphere to offset the
effects of global warming and enhance fish production. The project
needs thorough study, according to experts and environmental groups
which have described the idea as “speculative and unproven.”
Agence France-Presse broke the
story on the experiment, which The Times reported on Nov. 14.
Concerns about the project’s impact on the environment have also
worried local governments, government offices dealing with natural
resources and civil-society groups.

characters, and I’m not referring to a new political party, or a
party-list organization.
