Thanks. Interesting idea of sinking logs into the Black Sea. One problem - most logs don't sink, at least not right away. Suggest ballasting with limestone to neutralize any CO2 given off during decomposition. But in the anoxic deep water of this sea, CH4 production rather than CO2 would likely dominate as the decomp end product. Maybe we should save this for countering the next ice age. Anyway, would like to know more details if available. Greg
