Climate change expert advocates for seaweed farms to mitigate global warming
Seaweed farms could be a highly effective way to combat climate game, an expert says.
Acclaimed Australian scientist and author Tim Flannery spoke at The Inconvenient Conference held in Auckland on Tuesday and hosted by the Sustainable Business Network.
Flannery was Australia's chief climate commissioner in 2011 and founded the Australian Climate Council in 2013. He also chaired the Copenhagen Climate Council in 2007.
He said seaweed's role in protecting waterways and helping tackle climate change could not be overstated.
