人有多大胆，海有多高产

古人说：人生得一知己足矣。

当初毛主席搞大跃进放卫星打三面红旗的时候，苦于找不到知己，连乐天宇那样青梅竹马的旷世奇才都自惭形秽。

盼星星、盼月亮，盼得深山出太阳。

终于盼来了号称给洋人也放过卫星的钱同学。

于是就人有多大胆，地就多高产了。

再到后来，连沙产业，草产业、地理产业、特异功能产业，也都蒸蒸日上，群魔乱舞了。

别以为这样的事情只有在社会主义初级阶段之前的中国才有，前苏联有，美国当今就有。

不信就给你说说看。

不是都在担心温室气体全球变暖海啸风啸地震外星球碰撞吗？担心股市泡沫楼市泡沫通货膨胀和人民币不断升值吗？

好啦，不用担心了。

只要肯动员全世界人民起来大炼钢铁，然后把炼出来的钢铁象骨灰一样撒在大海里，刺激海洋生物的生长：吃的是铁，吸进去的是二氧化碳，日复一日，年复一年，子子孙孙无穷匮也，一切问题就都解决了。



这可不仅仅是天方夜谭，说一说而已。而是既有理论，又有实践的。


THE IRON-CLIMATE CONNECTION—Climate records extracted from ice at the Vostok station in Antarctica extend back 400,000 years. They consistently link low atmospheric carbon dioxide levels (top) with low air temperatures (middle), and high levels of iron-rich dust (bottom)—and vice versa. That supports the “iron hypothesis.” (Figure by J.R. Petit, et al., Nature )

真刀真枪，也比试过的。



TESTING THE WATERS—Twelve small-scale experiments over the past decade in several ocean locations (red dots) consistently showed that intentional iron additions do result in phytoplankton blooms that help draw down carbon dioxide from the air. But the experiments have not determined how much carbon is transferred and sequestered in the deep sea, rather than quickly recycled back to the atmosphere.

下面这位，算是鼻祖。



Biogeochemist John Martin promulgated the “iron hypothesis” in the 1990s, saying that iron in the ocean could stimulate phytoplankton blooms that would help draw carbon dioxide from the air into the ocean and lower global temperatures.

江山代有才人出，各领风骚数十年。

"Give me half a tanker of iron, and I'll give you an ice age" may rank as the catchiest lilac ever uttered by a biogeochemist. The man responsible was the late John Martin, former director of the Moss Landing Marine Laboratory, who discovered that sprinkling iron dust in the right ocean waters could trigger plankton blooms the size of a small city. In turn, the billions of ceils produced might absorb enough heat trap ping carbon dioxide to cool the Earth's warming atmosphere.
