The Seafloor Is Dissolving Away. And Humans Are to Blame. Carbon emissions are dissolving the seafloor, especially in the Northern Atlantic Ocean The explanation of the Carbon Cycle as explained by NASA is at this link lnkd.in.

In 2007 & 2010 I personally tried to initiate projects for reducing CH4 emission from rotting biomass in EU & Siberia.

Unfortunate it was an uphill battle, ideas well before their time and investment public acceptance was very skeptical of the economic viability of engaging in projects saving GHG emissions. The Russian called me "the crazy scientist" because they did not understand the benefits for THEIR environment, and the consequences of the melting of Siberia permafrost which ravages havoc now in Northern Siberia, from roads, railroads and buildings which are "structurally cracking" or deforming and unexpected NG explosion to the tundra surface. In the Northern Territories of Canada similar situation, forest trees are falling over due to the thawing of the permafrost as an example.
The ocean is what's known as a carbon sink: It absorbs carbon from the atmosphere. And that carbon acidifies the water. In the deep ocean where the pressure is high, this acidified seawater reacts with calcium carbonate that comes from dead shelled creatures. The reaction neutralizes the carbon, creating bicarbonate.

Over the millennia this reaction has been a handy way to store carbon without throwing the ocean's chemistry wildly out of whack But as humans have burned fossil fuels, more and more carbon has ended up in the ocean. In fact, according to NASA about 48 percent of the excess carbon humans have pumped into the atmosphere has been locked away in the oceans. Prior to the Industrial Revolution, the annual uptake and release of carbon dioxide by the land and the ocean had been on average just about balanced.
