Multiple schemes have been suggested to ameliorate the adverse effects of climate change on the environment caused by the burning of fossil fuels and other greenhouse gas emissions including enhanced schemes to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The ability of the ocean to absorb rising levels of carbon …
