Some scientists say CO2 removal is simply a distraction from the urgency of the climate crisis and an excuse to continue burning fossil fuels.
Bingo~
- I'm surprised you haven't been downvoted to oblivion.
  CO2 removal/credit trading was a scam from the start - so obviously that it was discussed in print at the time.
Yes, let's further acidify the oceans. No way that could go wrong
- The article says that "some companies are experimenting with alkaline rocks". So it's the opposite.
  
  I think the alkaline rocks create a way to absorb the carbonic acid that comes from CO2 diluted in water.
It’s not the ocean’s fault. How about we force oil company CEOs to absorb more CO2.
- I'm not a ceo but I'm doing my part by drinking as much pellegrino as possible.
  
  Pellegrino is owned by Nestlé :c
Dumb as shit. "We have an issue, but instead of fixing it, let's just make nature TAKE IT. TAKE IT AND LIKE IT"
poking the sea with a stick
C'mon. Absorb more CO2.
I just picture scientists leaning down on the bech going "pspspsps'
Maybe we could stop fucking dredging the ocean? I feel like most people missed this statistic... but ocean dredging is likely around the equivalent C02 output of the entire aviation industry.
- It's easier to convince the S.E.A. then the C.E.O.
There are some interesting ideas in there that I hadn't heard of. Interesting article
We just need a giant box of baking soda. It will absorb anything.
But i thought the earth created humans because it wanted more CO2 and plastic /s
Yeah. We keep trying to dump stuff in the ocean, it always comes back and bites us in the ass.
Iron seeding has significant downsides
Isn't this a path to creating more methane clathrates?
