Flying fish? Poissons d'Avril? Without oceans to dissolve all the carbon
dioxide and turn it into carbonate rocks I suspect Earth would look like
Venus.
Another objection. Given the quoted upper limit of 55000 tonnes of dust
a day, you get 20 million tonnes a year, or 4 x 10^15 tonnes in the last
200 million years (it's only 9 x 10^16 tonnes since the Earth was
formed). The mass of the Earth is about 6 x 10^21 tonnes.
If I was really keen I'd work out the mass equivalent of the solar
energy falling on the Earth, as that is apparently seriously proposed,
but for now I'll let someone else shoot at this fish in a barrel.
