I'm glad you're starting to see how your beliefs are not supported by facts you agree with. You're at war with yourself.

Phytoplankton do sequester carbon dioxide over time, but their growth is limited when ocean temperatures rise due to nutrient limitations. You need to understand what this means.

The end result is when carbon dioxide output outstrips the ability of the the phytoplankton to process the carbon dioxide, as is indicated by a rising percentage of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the sequestering ability of phytoplankton actually declines - making the imbalance worse.

At the end of your tergiversations you agree you haven't the slightest idea what effects would be if you pumped carbon dioxide to a deep part of the ocean. You're just sure it could be done, if you are willing to accept the unknown consequences. Your idea is the sort we might expect from an unaccountable New Zealand government bureaucrat.
