Adding calcium/magnesium carbonate to the ocean to offset
acidification and increase CO2 uptake would increase the

Hello Andy:
Thanks for the post!
My colleague, oceanographer Jim carton and I wrote a rough draft last

drainage basin including the Alps, rafting down the logs and sink to
the bottom of the Sea. Tom Schelling mentioned to me of th

Not quite right. The UNFCCC r

We have discussed this before. Solar radiation management is not
mitigation. It is a form of adaptation of limited use (several decades to
centuries) and no prevention to harm to oceans. Carbon sequestration (eg.
OIF) is a form of mitigation, but is not mitigation as defined by climate
activists
