Fight Global Warming with Milk of Magnesia |
2023-03-06 |
Dumping the stuff in the ocean off the SW English Coast [WattsUpWithThat] Planetary Technologies will release between 200 and 300 tonnes of magnesium hydroxide in its mineral form, brucite, in St Ives Bay over three months this spring. Magnesium hydroxide is probably better known as the compound Milk of Magnesia, used as a laxative. Senior company figures are attending public meetings in Hayle and Truro to assuage concerns about the project. The approach is called ocean alkalinity enhancement, and uses an alkaline mineral to shift the pH value of the sea. Making the water more alkaline speeds up the natural way oceans lock CO2 away by neutralizing dissolved CO2 and turning it into a salt. |

#6 The CO2 will come from someplace else to restore equilibrium or maybe an increase of water vapor. This seems like creating an environmental spill on purpose. |

#3 Implying no doubt whatever of Gromble's testimony. A ferociously rational dialysis patient and I ended up believing beyond doubt in the efficacy of Irish Spring (mere presence thereof) for their calf cramps. Still can't believe it... but I do. |

#2 Next patient, neurotic believer In urges and spurges, naive. Her Concern: "I'm on fire!" Martin, warming denier: "You're not even running a fever." Gaia in Portwenn, like? |

#1 I take a teaspoon at a time for leg muscle cramps, works better than other OTC magnesium supplements ever did. |
