Summary Introduction

To explain:

The feasibility of the approach of using a supertanker of iron dust in the oceans to grow more algae.

Introduction:

The growth of algae in the Southern Ocean was achieved by depositing huge reserves of metal iron on the ocean surface. The algae utilize carbon dioxide and help in the process of photosynthesis by consuming carbon dioxide. The decrease in the levels of the carbon dioxide decreases the chance of global warming.
