Why support someone possibly poisioning the ocean with no oversight? Is teaming up with a university too difficult? No government needed, just actual science, not '"science" because some guy took notes'.

Nobody has suggested that he "poisoned" the ocean. By all accounts, it worked as planned, perhaps just a little too well.
If freighters would scatter just a couple of hundred pounds of iron dust behind them on each trip, the concentration would be easily low enough to cause no red tides, but might absorb all the carbon they are pumping out.
To claim that scattering rock dust is reckless, but spewing millions of tons of CO2 is fine, is extreme foolishness.
