I’m gonna bet that you’re going to get a much-more-economical return there by powdering whatever iron is used in building that thing and then dumping said iron powder into the ocean at an appropriate point.

This technique is controversial because there is limited understanding of its complete effects on the marine ecosystem,[5] including side effects and possibly large deviations from expected behavior. Such effects potentially include release of nitrogen oxides,[6] and disruption of the ocean’s nutrient balance.[1] Controversy remains over the effectiveness of atmospheric CO2 sequestration and ecological effects.

Geoengineering is bullshit proposed by funding from fossil fuel companies so they can continue to pollute.

The solution is simple: make it illegal to pollute. Fine the companies responsible for their contributions to the climate catastrophe out of existence.
