  • Love the ocean, this is great!

  • The ocean is such an important regulator of the CO2/O2 in the atmosphere; but we neglect and abuse it so much.    What's with all the floating seaweed to the southern Atlantic ocean?  (Soon to be on beaches from Cuba to Florida.  Is this a result of overgrowth due to the high CO2?
