Maurice, you're confused and talking out of both sides of your mouth. You claim pumping carbon dioxide to a deep portion of the ocean would: 1.) sequester it; 2.) but not for long as it will also dissipate, acidifying the oceans; 3.) but only in limited areas because it would quickly find its way into the atmosphere. Gee, Maurice what is the point of your mad scheme? It seems to accomplish little other than damage on a massive scale on the way to achieving nothing. The liquid CO2 would just lie on the bottom of the ocean in a big puddle and gradually dissolve, joining ocean circulation. It would help dissolve the shells of molluscs which would make them easier to eat for mollusc eating fish. Shells are often too hard to bite through, so various fish would like that. Since the fish could eat more easily, we would get more fish to eat. - Maurice Winn Message 22985930 coral islands in the Pacific could happily tolerate such techniques because, as you have obviously forgotten already, [check for Alzheimer's], the CO2 would be deposited at least 400 metres down, and maybe deeper. Not many people go swimming around at that depth to view coral reefs. Any coral that deep is disposable. It would take umpty megatons of CO2 to dissolve a coral island's foundations. It would take millions of years and the islanders couldn't afford enough oil to do it. And the ocean would wash away the CO2 too quickly - the ocean is VERY big. - Maurice Winn Message 22986633 Why not subject your nonsense to a peer-review and post your schemes on the Sydney Morning Herald board for global warming skeptics. blogs.smh.com.au .
