There is excellent work studying how global ocean bioproductivity increases when mineral rich bottom waters mix with surface waters. This effect is sufficient to change atmospheric carbon dioxide content and global warming. The paper, Climate and bioproductivity control on carbonate turbidite sedimentation (Paleocene to earliest Eocene, Gulf of Biscay, Zumaia, Spain), demonstrates that this has happened many times in the Earth's long history. The deep ocean mixing of nutrient rich waters with surface waters has global climate change impact and the potential to regulate atmospheric CO2. This is relevant  because Land Not Bombs presumes Floating Ocean Crop Circles could rebalance atmospheric CO2 levels and thereby prevent global warming.

Some scientists believe the bioproductivity of the oceans, (which is controlled principally by mixing with sea bottom nutrient rich waters), has dramatically effected CO2 levels in the atmosphere and consequently, global atmospheric temperatures. This conclusion was made by D Hollander, J Rich, J Werne, G E Birchfield in The Role of Low Latitude Bioproductivity in Controlling Oceanic Carbon Cycles and Atmospheric pCO~K2~L Levels: Evidence from Sedimentary Biogeochemical Records and Climate Modeling.

"We propose that elevated rates of bioproductivity in Fe-abundant, thermally stratified low-latitude oceans promoted the transport and sequestering of carbon below the surface layer thereby altering the global balance of carbon transfer across the ocean/atmosphere interface and leading to the eventual drawdown in atmospheric pCO2 levels."

The oceans are not biologically productive.

The reason is that most of the necessary minerals to support life sink to the bottom.

Briefly, life on the ocean's surface is limited by the abundance of biologically essential minerals.

The ORNL DAAC Net Primary Production (NPP) Database contains field measurements of biomass and estimated NPP for terrestrial sites worldwide, compiled from published literature and other extant data sources.

Global warming demonstrates  that human CO2 production must be absorbed through systematic bioproductive carbon sequestation.  Humans have imbalanced the atmosphere and produced global warming; we must rebalance it or suffer the consequences. Moving industrial agriculture off the land and onto the ocean is the best way to accomplish this. Such a project realizes the same end as those periods in the Earth's history when ocean bioproductivity was greater due to ocean mixing. Floating Ocean Crop Circles will pump the nutrient rich bottom waters to the surface to be bound in carbon sequestering biological cells.

Land Not Bombs is a conscious agricultural global reorganizion to rebalance Earth's metabolism and prevent global warming.
