Climate cult pseudoscientists now dumping FLUORESCENT DYE in waters around Martha’s Vineyard in bizarre effort to fight “global warming”
02/19/2024 / By Ethan Huff



Globalist efforts to reduce so-called “greenhouse gas” emissions in order to save the planet from global warming are not moving fast enough for some climate pseudoscientists who will soon begin dumping fluorescent dye chemicals into the waters near Martha’s Vineyard to wage war on carbon dioxide (CO2).

According to reports, researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) are planning to release 6,000 gallons of a liquid solution of sodium hydroxide, a component of lye, into ocean waters 10 miles south of the home of the Obamas this fall – and they will also add chemical colorings to the solution to make it visible.

The purpose of these chemical dumps is to lower the acidity of surface water much “like a big tablet of Tums,” to quote the Wall Street Journal. In turn, this will supposedly absorb 20 metric tons of CO2 from the atmosphere and store it in the ocean, or so we are told.

Enviro-whackos pouring 6000 gallons of caustic in the ocean?

Specific Gravity of Caustic Soluton is 1.32. Which means that this an intentional and criminal realease of 7920 pounds.  7X the EPA RQ (reportable quantity)

 Given this release is intentional versus accidental, this means this is a a criminal offense under (CWA) Clean Water Act Guidelines.


RQ of Sodium Hydroxide is 1000 pounds.  per 40 CFR. 117.3, 40 CFR 302.4

I can also think of 5  or 6 violations of environmental statutes depending on intent and impact too.


Jail these eco-terrorist.

I'm no scientist, but wouldn't lye be kind of harmful to marine life?

I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express once, and I's say yes it would be harmful to the fishies and anyone who might eat the fish.

They are just Norwegian scientist pining for the fiords and their beloved Lutefisk, they so miss it that they are endeavoring to prepare it before the fishies are are even caught so as to save time.

Next they will salt the waters for pickled herring!

Frankly, I would think we can anticipate that little in the way of flora or fauna would survive the caustic burns this should produce.

Last time some bunch of geniuses I have knowledge of screwed around with a brackish water tidal estuary, the practically killed, destroyed a fishery worth millions in 1960, and sixty years later that estuary has still not recovered. It would have been better off had a crude oil tanker run aground.

Great whales are already dying off New England and the East Coast in higher numbers than normal, for a variety of reasons.

Offshore Windfarms and dumping chemicals will not help.  I don't know why these nitwits aren't trying to establish and expand kelp forests to accomplish the same thing.

There are only a few hundred of this whale species left. One was just found dead near Martha’s Vineyard.
The young North Atlantic right whale, who was one of about 70 females of the species left in the wild, was found just days before an annual fishery closure was scheduled to start.
