A dash of lime - a new twist that may cut CO2 levels back to pre-industrial levels

Scientists say they have found a workable way of reducing CO2 levels in the atmosphere by adding lime to seawater. And they think it has the potential to dramatically reverse CO2 accumulation in the atmosphere. picked by AutumnLotus 4 weeks ago

Nothing about how it might affect the animal life in the sea!

"adding calcium hydroxide to seawater will also mitigate the effects of ocean acidification, so it should have a positive impact on the marine environment"

I think this sentence says it should be good for "animal life in the sea".

If only it were that easy. Screwing with the environment is what got us here in the first place, and the fact that Shell, one of the companies that got us into this mess, is supporting it really makes me doubt it's validity. We don't need to change the earth, we need to change for the earth. If we stop polluting so much, then our planet will repair itself. It's quite capable of doing so, it doesn't need its hand held.
Instead, we plan to screw around with delicate systems in which a single mistake could mean a catastrophe. The easy way out is not always the best way out.

Good, that's where that Mexican piss should be. Pour that s**t in the ocean so that no one has to drink it ever again.

But if we put all the limes in the sea, what will we put in the coconut and shake it all up?
