who knew runoff from tons of fertilizer and adding load of CO2 to the oceans would grow plants
I lived in Cancun 10 years ago and this was already a huge issue back then.
If the US was doing it, we'd only need a Little Excursion against Seaweed!
I hate this "War on X" rhetoric. They're not going to bomb the ocean or send troops to shoot it, so why make it sound like it? Just say what they're actually going to do about it.
the US has summoned the ambassador of Seaweed to answer for this
our chocolate shortage is dire!
Can this particular weed be eaten as-is, by human or animal, or is it known to e.g. be toxic or full of waste? Because it seems to me rather beneficial that the ocean washes it up on the shoreline ready for pick-up.
The big answer is not some "war on..." But instead "how can we eat it?" Or "Can it be reprocessed into something useful?"
