  • Heffernan comments on the Canadian proposal to dump iron into seas off Chile to boost plankton. The proposal has sparked concern among some scientists skeptical of the benefits and worried about other possible implications. In particular, they are concerned that such trials could set the scene for something far more elaborate and potentially profitable--the showcasing of seeding as a means of slowing climate change, with the know-how largely in private hands.
