OK, if these bacteria live in the deep ocean, can they be fertilized,
eg by using iron? What about the ones that live in the upper ocean,
which you imply are less significant?
Are the bacteria specifically evolved for metabolising methane, or are
they 'ordinary' bacteria that happen to do it as

Thanks. Interesting idea of sinking logs into the Black Sea. One
problem - most logs don't sink, at least not right away. Suggest
ballasting with limestone to neutralize any CO2 given off during
decomposition. But in the anoxic deep water of this sea, CH4
production rather than CO2 would
When it's used to save the Arctic sea ice, as I hope, it will not be
mitigation, but a vital step to salvation!

In terms of carbon burying biomass in sediment is a much more efficient use of
biomass than combustion, as Metzger and Benford developed in 2001. It helps to
think about it as global recycling. Put the excess carbon back in the
sediments.
Note that the Danube empties into the Black Sea from
There is currently a debate on the inclusion of geoengineering and
climate feedback in the main wiki on global warming. Every day 20,000
people read this at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming
This compares to 500 or less for every other wiki that details geoengineering.
