Doesn't really matter at this stage if it's 'real' or man-made (geoengineered), we're going to have to deal with it, and soon.
Some of the comments under this video are pretty *illuminating*, including this snippet from Darthvader:
'Consideration of iron's importance to phytoplankton growth and
photosynthesis dates to the 1930s when English biologist Joseph Hart
speculated that the ocean's great "desolate zones" (areas apparently
rich in nutrients, but lacking in plankton activity or other sea life)
might be iron-deficient.[6] Little scientific discussion was recorded
until the 1980s, when oceanographer John Martin renewed controversy on
the topic with his marine water nutrient analyses. His studies supported
Hart's hypothesis. These "desolate" regions came to be called "High
Nutrient, Low Chlorophyll" (HNLC) zones.[6]
John Gribbin was the first scientist to publicly suggest that climate
change could be reduced by adding large amounts of soluble iron to the
oceans.[7] Martin's 1988 quip four months later at Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institution, "Give me a half a tanker of iron and I will
give you another ice age",[6][8] drove a decade of research.'
