CO2 at 500 metres would dissolve into the water surrounding it. Then, as you know, there are ocean currents running continuously at low speeds, depending on the location. Google probably has ocean bottom current speeds at all sorts of places. One would of course have a look at potential sites and see where the flow goes. Is Great Barrier Reef older than 10,000 years? If so, then it has mostly experienced heating because of the end of the ice age when ice around the world melted in a big way and sea levels rose a lot. Personally, I expect that CO2 in the atmosphere is the best place to put it, rather than 500 metres down, as it is food for phytoplankton which live at the surface. It's easier just to just put it in the air, rather than waste a lot of energy compressing it. earthobservatory.nasa.gov That link is a good little summary of phytoplankton and the end result of stripping carbon out of the ecosphere and burying it. Maybe it would be worthwhile putting loads of nutrients in the ocean - such as iron. That would enhance fish stocks and lower the price of them. Of course the real world is complex, but that doesn't mean we just wring our hands and go back to the stone age. It's not that difficult though. Limestone arrived at its destination through a simple process. If CO2 in air is a problem, which I doubt, then it's not that hard to come up with solutions. The simplest is to tax carbon and stop taxing CDMA. That would discourage burning carbon and encourage using CDMA. What a great combination. Simple. As most things are. Mqurice
