How can there be so many researchers in the West tied to low quality thinking and obviously bad ideas? We now have two generations of supposed scientists who seem to ignore the tenets of science because of clear biases and juvenile thinking. Science has become social dogma.
There's lots of flue gas CO2, regionally located near oil fields for that purpose. Transporting seawater CO2, much more expensive to produce than flue gas CO2, would be crazy. Not to say they wouldn't do it, that's how things work under crony capitalism and climate change scams. If they got a big Democrat donor behind them, it's a done deal, if they win next election. It's all a big grift.
Folks are pretty aware of how dangerous a liquid CO2 pipeline could potentially be. I believe a couple of such proposals have already been shot down by farmers in the Midwest. For some reason they're attached to the idea of waking up in the morning. Who knew?
Yes. And a serious leak could kill everyone within 1-2 miles from the leak. I used to work on gas flood systems back in New Zealand about 40 years ago. In the event of a fire in a computer room, they would give you two minutes (that's a long time in terms of firefighting) to get out of the room, or die by asphyxiation .
All I can say is what the actual f*ck do they think they’re doing? Sure, let’s screw up the natural chemistry of seawater. What could possibly go wrong? 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
oh my.. what could go wrong with this? Create a problem, create a solution, then create a solution for that solution's problem, then create a solution for that problems problem,,, oh no..... my head is spinning..... oops, it just fell off!
Yes. Thanks. Add: Lindzen noting that the the evidence for AGW theory makes the evidence for creationism sound rigorous by comparison, and that a Forbes study a few years ago showed that the 97% consensus was really 1.6%, once the questionnaire, responses and filters were reviewed.
“The [global warning] argument makes arguments in support of Intelligent Design sound rigorous by comparison.” - Dr Richard Lindzen, Alfred P Sloan Professor of Meteorology, MIT.
Also - the president of the American Physical Society (professional physicists) quit his position when the East Anglia/CRU scam was exposed (temp alteration), saying, “ClimateGate scandal …was fraud on a scale I have never seen.”
What a moronic concept. The obvious way to utilize seawater CO2 is using phytoplankton which convert both dissolved CO2 and bicarbonate ions into living carbon, the basis of the sea web of life.
The most sterile areas on Earth are in the deep ocean areas due to the paucity of nutrients to facilitate phytoplankton growth. And they are vast, far larger than Earth's deserts. All that precious sunlight energy going to waste where it could feed an incredible, vast web of life.
Ocean fertilization is all that is required. There have been many methods proposed some of which have been proven, even by Haida natives that used iron sulfate to cause plankton blooms in the Eastern Pacific, enhancing their salmon harvest.
The most effective and most efficient method however would be to use floating Nuclear power plants to pump up nutrient rich sediment from the sea floor. Not only results in carbon capture but greatly increase fish stocks and the diversity of life on this Earth. Whereas NPPs generate negligible emissions.
I feel bad for the graduate student. He is being poorly advised.
The ocean carbon cycle is massive and CO2 removal from seawater is a thermodynamic disaster. Any CO2 removed will be quickly replaced by a variety of gigaton sinks, and thats a gross underestimate.
Pretty sure the oceans contain a bucketload more CO2 than the atmosphere, like 20 x as much? Still lala though. The volcanic activity on the sea floor directly feeds massively larger amounts into the ocean than anything else does.
Le Chatlier's principle of equilibrium suggests that if you remove one thing from one side of the equation, the equilibrium will shift to make up for the removal.....(simplistic but accurate).
The ocean is such a vast repository of carbonates and CO2, the CO2 sucked out will be easily replaced by gigatons of carbonates and dissolved CO2.
I feel bad for this graduate student, poorly advised.

restacks appreciated
More billions of dollars down the drain.
And what do they do with the CO2 once they've captured it?
Enhanced oil recovery, the subject of an upcoming article
RI, great to hear from you as always.
restacks appreciated

Copy that.
In an upcoming article I will be discussing the big CO2 enhanced oil recovery operations run by Exxon and Kinder Morgan !
Folks are pretty aware of how dangerous a liquid CO2 pipeline could potentially be. I believe a couple of such proposals have already been shot down by farmers in the Midwest. For some reason they're attached to the idea of waking up in the morning. Who knew?
Exactly.
Lot's of CO2 leakage issues as well!
Yes. And a serious leak could kill everyone within 1-2 miles from the leak. I used to work on gas flood systems back in New Zealand about 40 years ago. In the event of a fire in a computer room, they would give you two minutes (that's a long time in terms of firefighting) to get out of the room, or die by asphyxiation .

Suffocation by CO2 perhaps?

Deep and abiding insanity abounds these days.

We’re at the lowest level of atmospheric CO2 ever recorded. A reduction from here will terminate plant growth and all agriculture.
No uncorrupted science supports the anthropogenic climate change idiocy.
Anyone thinking the entire hoax is about anything other than control & global depopulation is just not thinking…
Excellent point Alex.

Hello Alexander, The pipelne is a great site, I read a couple articles by David Cavena, but could not easily locate yours.
Can you send a direct link or two for the lazy?
Best,

When the history is written, the climate crisis will be the greatest waste of resources in the history of mankind
I have to wonder where politics fits in on that scale if CC is #1?

🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️💰💰💰
Just saying huh…… the stupidity is unmatched.
Man's efforts to affect the climate are the proverbial "drop in the ocean".
lol
What could possibly go wrong?
suffocation by CO2 ?
Thanks for stopping by Andy!
Good night, just when you think they have reached Peak Stupidity, they come up with something even worse.
Read hargraves.substack.com/seafuel for a better use of CO2 and nuclear power
Subscribed.
Can you please forward me a technical paper or patent that describes the chemistry and mechanistic aspects and kinetics?
Very interested.
