I'd rather read it afterwards, maybe the movie is more enjoyable in that sequence. And should it really turn out to be as awful as everyone seems to be thinking, I still have the book to make up for it.

I didn't read the book(s), but I think the idea of speedy zombies coming at you by the thousands is kind of interesting.

Rofl, almost no cherry picking to be found in this argument, whatsoever.

What's wrong with that?

"There was no one, single moment when humans leapt from the trees to find a new existence on land".

Well, if you declare that "the carbon has already been paid for by someone else", then of course my gut-feeling would be wrong. But that's not a valid assumption, IMHO. The fact that iron sulphate has a market price clearly shows that there is a demand for the stuff, so the amount we'd throw into the oceans would need…

Sadly, many authors tend to develop a more and more pessimistic perspective, as the years pile up.

Hu? Give what a chance? We already produce iron sulphate and know the energy balance involved.

Well, a more valid criteria would be value of total output of the various substances produced, and I don't think either of us has the time to research that. Fact is that a certain amount of energy can be assigned to the production of iron sulphate, as well as, as you said, to the mining/transport/processing of the…

Look, I'm not particularly interested in watching your wiggling or listening to debating noise. It is mildly interesting, whether you can somehow substantiate your notion that Heim theory should rather be called a hypothesis, and you simply fail to deliver. The theory seems to have delivered some pretty precise…

"Pedantically nitpicking phrasing is very tiring."

Well, your definition of the term "theory" is simply wrong, as is your understanding of the scientific method. A hypothesis is promoted to theory by corroborating it with data from experiment and/or observation, then it is 'rigorously tested'. The former has been done in the case of Heim's theory, the latter not -…

Well, I'd rather trust Wikipedia, than some patronizing stranger on a science fiction / science blog, who can't substantiate his claims.

That's debatable, at least some of its results are significantly more precise than what is calculated by standard models.

I wish someone would come up with some billion bucks to experimentally verify the Heim theory.

Interesting, yet it has various industrial applications, so I'm not sure one can rightly claim its production would be CO2 neutral, me thinks. You could just as well say that titanium dioxide is a byproduct of the production of iron sulphate; fact is that energy is used to produce both, hence CO2 is emitted in the…

Would be interesting to know how much CO2 was emitted in the production of those 100 tonnes of iron sulphate and whether the whole gig would still have a CO2-reducing net-effect. My gut feeling says 'no'.

See, 1. and 2. fit perfectly, 3. you made up to back your babbling, in true troll-style.

You clearly don't know what the term actually means, but ironically keep representing it perfectly.

I can sense absolutely no trolling in your post, whatsoever.
