Cooling the Earth: The Preservation Markets

Abstract

Just off New England’s coast, the cold, mineral-rich Labrador Current mixes with the warm Gulf Stream over a series of underwater plateaus, called banks, and nurtures a startling variety of marine plants, animals, and birds. Some, like pollock, lobster, and scallops, are quite valuable commercially.

Nobody is going to emigrate from this planet, not ever.
