Engineers come up with an ambitious plan to bury excess carbon at the bottom of the ocean

Our inability to decisively mitigating climate change is prompting researchers to examine more drastic approaches, such as ocean fertilization to combat climate change. massive excess of carbon dioxide in our tunes. “At this stage, time is running out”, said Michael Hochella, Earth scientist at the US Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. “To fight …
