Plantkos to dump iron around the Galapagos

A company called Planktos is planning to dump loads of iron into the sea near the Galapagos in order to absorb carbon dioxide (see article for details). Great. Haven't we learned that nature isn't a simple equation in which you can just substitute a couple of variables and end up with the same equation?

And we're going to test an experiement which is likely to be environmentally disastrous in one of the most pristine areas in the world? Even better.

Of course, as the Grist article notes, Planktos won't bear any responsibility if the experiment harms the environment.
