POPSWhy I Left Greenpeace-Patrick Moore Phthalates are the new bogeyman. These chemicals make easy targets since they are hard to understand and difficult to pronounce. Sadly, Greenpeace has evolved into an organization of extremism and politically motivated agendas. Its antichlorination campaign failed, only to be followed by a campaign against polyvinyl chloride. We all have a responsibility to be environmental stewards. But that stewardship requires that science, not political agendas, drive our public policy.

POPSUrea 'climate solution' may backfire Similar to the idea of seeding the ocean with iron, the project is being seen as a way of generating 'carbon credits' Independent scientists have called for further research, however the biggest hurdle seen by the companies seems to be arranging the approval of various national governments. I remember W.C Fields mentioning something about not drinking water because of fish urine. It's a wonder they need more. There is also significant runoff from fertilizer containing nitrates, ending up in the ocean. The company says it is researching but wants to protect 'intellectual property' Natural upswellings of nitrogen have been known to produce toxic blooms, and nitrous oxide, a more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2
