I'm sorry to have written something anyone might take to be supportive of what the ETC group has been doing in regard to geoengineering.
However, whenever I think about Russ George, the fact that he once claimed to be in the process of bringing to market a lab tested cold fusion room heater does come into my mind. My grandfather was a salmon fisherman on the British Columbia coast. I worked with him on his boat when I was a teenager. Hence my great interest when I first heard about what the Haida had done. I supported the iron fertilization project at the time. I was critical of ETC at the time. I'm with those who say what is one application of 100 tonnes of iron compared to the sewage that is dumped into the Pacific Ocean on a daily basis, or compared to the annual application of fertilizer to farms on land? I support further research into fertilizing the ocean. I think most people who fish the British Columbia coast will be very supportive of further research.
