Fertilising oceans with iron may combat climate change - Vegnews - 02-16-2008
Scientists are considering a plan to combat climate change by dumping millions of tons of iron into the ocean to alter its chemical make-up.They believe the iron could act as a “fertiliser”, promoting the growth of tons of plankton that would soak up carbon dioxide from the surrounding sea water. When the plankton died, their bodies would sink into the deepest waters and sediments, where the carbon would be locked up indefinitely.

I think we need to solve the problem by stopping the extra co2, not by playing with the balance of nature.

Just kidding!!!
Indeed it is important to stop the co2 emission.
Right now the most co2 is emitted by transport around the world.
So an alternative fuel may save the situation.
