They say it isn't a bad thing.

Of course they will. The bank robber also says, "I didn't take that much money." too.

Haha, Touche but does the bank robber have the proof to back it up?

They are just trying to cover their asses but they gave a viable reason.

I must have missed that viable reason in all of their ass covering. What do you think it was?

They are saying how they did the ocean a favour.

I guess that guy that started the Barrier forest fire a few years back with a cigarette could claim the same thing.

Adding nutrients can cause a condition called eutrophication, which leads to anoxic conditions (not enough oxygen) in the water. This was a problem with the great lakes in, I think, the 60s. It was a result of the addition of phosphates, primarily, I believe, from laundry detergents being dumped with wastewater discharges into the lakes. Management changes and regulatory measures to limit/ban phosphorous brought Lake Erie (the most impacted) back from the brink.

It's a complex ecxosystem. Changing one variable may have unintended consequences on others.

Lake Winnipeg is dying due to algal blooms. The water actually becomes too toxic to swim in.

Much bigger system, ie the ocean. Lake Winnipeg has likely been polluted for decades by phosphate runoff. Doubt this one dump will do much long term harm, doubt if it will do much good either. If it were to be repeated annually, that's another matter. I'm not sure if the natives have considered they'd have to do this annually if it does work, and offset those costs against any increase in salmon.

The question is why did the salmon disappear? If it really is because lack of phytoplankton, why did that disappear? I doubt of there's all of a sudden an iron oxide shortage that developed in the ocean. I would guess that the salmon disappeared because of overfishing and habitat destruction of their breeding grounds in BC. Alaska doesn't seem to have the same problem.

We cause enough problems fertilizing the land with pollution and micronutrient depletion. Maybe we should at least leave the ocean alone.

Where i'm living right now, they are having trouble with coastal waters, even with the strong currents in the straits. Put it this way....there aren't any shithawks around because the water is so poisonous with human, agricultural and industrial waste. Walking along the harbour is definitely an olfactory assault. When the shithawks avoid an area, you know there's something wrong.

There's a mall in Guelph and across the street from the mall is a strip of restaurants. There's a Tim Horton's, McDonald's, Burger King, Dairy Queen, KFC, East Side Mario's, etc. Most of the parking lot is FILLED with shithawks feasting on the the dropped and discarded french fries and other fast-food related trash. But I've noticed that there's no seagulls around the KFC. Puzzling...or maybe not so puzzling.

That's an event, not a citation.

Hyper-inflation stopped in Germany when the Nazi's started to re-arm. Hardly a social credit movement.

The Rentenmark was issued on 15 November 1923 under the Weimar Republic which lasted untill 1933.

Unless you want to claim the Weimar Republic started rearming for the Nazi's 10 years before they took power...
