At what point would co2 need to drop to reverse the reduction in albedo and once the nutrient cycle kicks in with increased mobility of water what effect would this have on the oceans and the atmosphere as water vapor is major climate change gas . Was there an increase in lifeforms and higher levels of turbidity leading to longevity in the increases in temperatures in the ocean as well? Some scientists speculate that the oceans used to be more green than blue and this may have caused a greater stratification of temperature with a much warmer upper layer. As to Neils blog ,we have an opportunity to purchase the intellectual property evolved on this planet over billions of years for so little money before it is lost forever and no one is buying??? We do not deserve the connotation of an intelligent species. Maybe if we offered individuals or companies certain intellectual property rights over species within threatened zones over a certain time period we may be able to extend the bio credit class of investment to help save these habitats.

Thank you for this much needed insightful writing. I'd bet that your suspicions are correct about abstract "curation" as a way to make publication more likely....
