Weird Geoengineering Science

A rogue scientist dumps 100 tons of iron dust into the north Pacific off the coast of British Columbia at the behest of an Indian tribe. His/their two-fold purpose: increase the salmon run and produce salable carbon offsets. See the New York Times article for details.

He even duped NOAA into helping him by loaning some data-collection buoys. The conventional science community is displeased, to say the least.
