China needs to increase their water flow.
I recommend they use Hydor Koralia #4s every 10 feet along the Qingdao coastline,
add 500,000 scarlet legged hermits, 40,000 lawnmover blennies, and .... nevermind.
It's all the extra poo they're pumping into their ocean, causing high nitrates, which the algae thives on.

Just a lil tidbit of info most people dont know... There 3 major cities in China that build/assemble all there things here that say "made in china". The greenhouse gases coming from those 3 cities is more then the rest of the world combined.

(excluding volcano's... volcano's are the worlds largest co2 producers, so is al gore going to try and stick a cork in those too?)

So until china does something about their pollution controls, what we do here doesnt even put a dent in it.

The sad part is I know him personally... My dad helped with his campaign when he was in congress. I think my mom still gets christmas cards from his family, haha!

I saw an image somebody made once on the net and it read "Al Gore didn't invent the internet, but he did invent Global Warming!"

For those who believe in global warming, back in the 60s/70s all the scientists thought we were on the verge of a mini ice age.
