So, buckwheat, who gave Vespa permission to run this experiment and dump that stuff into your NC state waters? And who signed the check for it? Or did they deposit a check for granting said permission? Don't say the government, that's just used as a shield to deflect accountability away from the person (s) responsible.

You have come across as a person with genuine concerns about NC and a knack for digging up details. That's why I posted. I'm glad they didn't dump that stuff in MD waters. Until I see the person who signed off sitting buck naked in a bathtub full of it, I remain skeptical of it being harmless. It changes the pH and the CO2 concentration of the water. That’s two strikes already.

Wow! Back in the day in the 80's when we drove down here, we always drove through Elizabeth City to get to the Outer Banks. Such a beautiful view gazing at the swamp. All of us would wonder at the age of it and the life that was in it. It always fascinated me with the old trees. Good for you.

Thanks for posting about the cypress knees, EZ. I have always been fascinated by biology and kept at it right through most of college because it was an easy A for me. I knew that the knees probably allowed the submerged roots to breathe, I probably learned that about the same time as what the definition of a woman is.

Don't get me started on Mr Fauci. He's fertilizer in my opinion.

I have no idea, and in case you’re wondering, I am just as skeptical as you are.

I wrote a term paper on the entire photosynthetic biochemical energy conversion process from sunlight to sugar. For plants, CO2 is required, not optional.

About half of the earth's oxygen comes from photosynthesis in the oceans, and only from the top few feet where sunlight can penetrate. For animals, O2 is required, not optional.

The problem with reducing the CO2 in the ocean? Atmospheric CO2 and O2 are directly proportional. Grow more plants to reduce the CO2 if that's the goal. It's really that simple.

The company who engineered the beach nourishment project from the NC line down to NH are taking measurements of the shoreline and depth. They were in KDH yesterday. I spoke with the engineer and asked him what they were doing and he explained it. I don't doubt there are experiments going on at the pier in Duck, but the survey boat you saw is related to measuring the beach nourishment project.

OK. I won’t get you started on Fauci. But I will just say that I am a huge fan of Senator Rand Paul. No one grills Fauci like Dr. Paul, a brilliant physician himself.

Hope this is not too political. It’s actually more about science and health.

One of their many face-offs.

It’s a damn shame his neighbor wasn’t more efficient

Agreed. There is no place for a comment recommending murder. I am right when that is what you are suggesting, MikeW, rather than the severe maiming that took place?
