We have to reduce sewage and industrial emissions of nitrogen into the water now! If not we all will be eating jelly fish soup pretty soon. Dead zones are reversible.

Rove, he is smart, I'll give you that, but what has made him even more influential is his friends, those in dept and people who he can use to extort. Still waiting for the frog march from the WH.

I had a Norwegian friend say this about US politics - "it [democracy] not going to work because your country is too big." I've thought a lot about that seemingly simple statement. Now you have hit the nail on the head: we are going to try to operate an economic superpower as a democracy from the level of the lowest common denominator of 230 million people. I think the only person who really leverages this truth is probably Karl Rove. He consistently gets the LCD to work in his favor. Racism, hate, hyper-nationalism, militarism, all the LCD faves - he is the one that actually understands how to leverage all that stuff. He is the one that understands that for all the smart individuals in America, we are still pretty dumb at the collective level. As any amateur psychologist, sociologist, and pundit will tell you: individually we can act with tremendous intelligence, but as a group we tend towards the lowest common denominator.

Must have had the grad student put it up. Just location, no information about when the zones appear, whthert they are they seasonal, what is their size, if in a fishing ground, what is caught, and so forth. As I lecture to the Art History students - maps, they make everything better, unless the map is poor then it detracts.

Diaz’ institution, VIMS, has a googlemap…

If pump CO2 into the phytoplankton (via creating blooms), then harvest and burn the phytoplankton it kind of defeats the purpose. I think you answered your own question.

The up side would be saving the ocean. The down side would be another source of fuel to support excess consumption and further contributing to the CO2 problem.

If we overpopulate, decimate our ecosystem, and get decimated ourselves as a result, exactly how does that show we are more intelligent than any other animal species that has done the same thing?
