The "psuedo-scientific mainstream" split the atom, sequenced DNA, put spider genes in goats, developed AIDs drugs, invented Viagra, and sent a probe out of the solar system. They have a pretty good track record.

Ocean waters may be CO2 sinks, but they don't sequester the carbon at the ocean floor as solid carbon based organic matter.. That requires phytoplankton, as well as the fecal matter of various marine life that feed upon it, to send that carbon to the bottom.

You've 0 empirical data to back that assertion that sequestering by phyto is much larger than that of the ocean waters. This is just reaching on your part to come up with some cockamamy idea that humans aren't the source of the problem. This is cooked by you to suite your world view and political ideology. It has nothing to do with reality.
