Ocean: increasing amounts of CO 2 ultimately dissolve in the oceans and forms carbonic acid by altering the ocean chemistry. The increased acidity reduces the number of available carbonate ions. 2009; Steffen, W., There are nine planetary boundaries identified. I invite you to join me there and share your thoughts.

Why We Need Carbon Capture and Sequestration

Green Market Oracle

FEBRUARY 11, 2020

Carbon capture and sequestration have often been considered technologies of last resort. As emissions keep rising and global carbon budgets decline, it is becoming increasingly apparent that if we are to stave off the worst of climate change we must deploy and scale these desperate remedies as quickly as possible. Welch, 2019).

Yet, it’s had the unintended consequence of ramping up near-term global warming. Unlike its carbon cousin, sulfur dioxide tends to cool the planet by creating aerosols that reflect sunlight while also making clouds brighter. Cutting carbon dioxide is, of course, critical. One of the most common comes from sulfur.
