ACTION ALERT UPDATE PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY!
CLIMATE ALERT! Stop Rogue German Ship from Fertilizing
Southern Ocean in Dangerous Geo-Engineering Experiment

Many seek to "geo-engineer" a global solution to climate
change; that is, modify the Earth's biosphere at a planetary
scale. Is humanity so resistant to change that we will seek to
construct a "Frankensphere", with dramatic unknown
consequences, rather than reducing emissions, consumption and
population?
A rogue science ship is poised to carry out risky experimental
fertilization of the Southern Ocean. This is likely the first
of many coming attempts to begin "geo-engineering" the
biosphere as a solution to climate change. RV Polarstern, a
German research ship, is to dump twenty tons of iron sulphate
over 300 square kilometres of the Scotia Sea, off Chile's
coast, near the Antarctic Peninsula. The chemical cargo --
normally used to treat lawns and sewage -- is likely to
provoke a massive algal bloom big enough to be seen from outer
space. German and Indian scientists are hoping the experiment
will show that such manmade algae blooms can provide a quick
fix to climate change by absorbing carbon into the sea. Please
write to the German government demanding that the RV
Polarstern turn around and return to port. Insist that Germany
agree to a permanent ban on large-scale geo-engineering
experiments and implementation, until all other options are
exhausted, and until global geo-engineering protocols are in
place.
