  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.

  Dumb as shit. "We have an issue, but instead of fixing it, let’s just make nature TAKE IT. "

  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.

  Isn’t this a path to creating more methane clathrates?
