Better yet, make a giant sheet of it and float it in the ocean to fix the earth’s albedo and stop climate change.

Next trick: make it into a paint or spray-on treatment.

The copepods and algaes also need the light to draw down assloads of carbon though. Those tiny creatures suck up staggering amounts.

Oh, great idea! A nanoparticle ceramic aluminum oxide aerosol? What could possibly go wrong? 🤣
gregorum@lemm.ee 11 months ago
lol, it doesn’t have to be aerosolized in order for it to be sprayed. It can come out of a spray hose nozzle and be appropriately viscous. Workers can wear PPD.

You’re missing the point. Aerosolized or atomized, is still fucking airborne nanoparticles ceramic aluminum oxide. 🙄
gregorum@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I didn’t miss the point. You’re not understanding what I’m describing in a sufficiently contained substance that leaves its container and reaches its surface with practically zero contamination of the local area. With a sufficiently viscous base liquid, it would be fine.

Maybe a paint that you put on with a hairy stick brush would be better?
