More Batsh*t Globalist Ideas - Sucking Carbon from Oceans

[sahgwa]

Just when the hubris and nonsense couldn't get any larger, what with blocking the Sun's rays, now we have the Scientismists talking about wanting to suck carbon out of the ocean.
Oh um last time I checked, we are a carbon based life form, we are in an ecosystem that thrives on carbon, y'know, like carbon dioxide for the beautiful plants.
Now you want to get rid of even more natural carbon? Wow.

  MEDIA: project to suck carbon out of sea begins in UK  22 April 2025  
Could carbon removal from the sea help tackle climate change? PML scientists and colleagues from the University of Exeter have made headlines over the weekend with the groundbreaking SeaCURE project pilot plant now operative in Weymouth, Dorset. 



'climate change climate change climate change'
The biggest money and control scam invented yet. 
Total madness. 


"In parallel, SeaCURE scientists, including Guy Hooper – PhD researcher with PML and the University of Exeter – are studying potential ecological impacts. As marine organisms such as phytoplankton and molluscs depend on dissolved carbon for processes like photosynthesis and shell formation, understanding and mitigating any adverse effects is essential. "

Cuz I trust it whenever humans meddle with Nature.  Just like the hubris that we are causing global warming trends. They are natural and cyclical.  But let's piggy back on that and make some cash! Screw the marine life.

So what, now instead of suffocating trees they want to go after plankton now? I forget who it was but there was a congressional hearing on this and the HFMIC of whatever company was on the stand was asked what the CO2 levels have to be on earth to maintain the ecosystem and the guy didn't have a clue. More CO2 means trees breathe better which translates to more O2.

The cynic in me wants to know who/what funded this ''research''. Because unless someone has  perceived weaponisation, mic won't go there. Who else can afford it? British taxpayers?

Also, what are they planning to do with this carbon stolen from marine ecosystems? Where are they going to put it? How will they employ or destroy? Or sell?

What's batshit is the CO2 levels they're comparing the increase in recent centuries to were dangerously low. Another 50ppm lower would have eradicated all life on Earth.

https://wattsupwiththat.com/2017/06/30/l...ittle-co2/

Our crop plants evolved about 400 million years ago, when CO2 in the atmosphere was about 5000 parts per million! Our evergreen trees and shrubs evolved about 360 million years ago, with CO2 levels at about 4,000 ppm. When our deciduous trees evolved about 160 million years ago, the CO2 level was about 2,200 ppm – still five times the current level.

There’s little danger to humans of too much CO2 in the air they breathe. Even the Environmental Protection Agency says 1000 ppm is the safe limit for lifetime human exposure. Space shuttle CO2 alarms are set at 5,000 ppm, and the alarm in nuclear submarines is set at 8,000 ppm!

If there’s little danger of humans having too much CO2 in their air, and a real danger to civilization from having too little, what’s the ideal level of atmospheric CO2? The answer? There’s a broad safe range – with far more risk of too little than too much. At low levels, with few or no plants, there’d be no people or animals, let alone civilization.

Removing carbon form the sea? Haven't we been soon that all along. I mean fish are carbon based. Humans eat fish from the sea. 

Just now they want to remove the carbon before the food chain gets to use it. 

Who in their right mind wants to stop things growing anywhere in nature? Sounds like someone is looking for elephants with a microscope, you can do it but why?

If it’s the British government, it’s safe to assume they think they can sell it for carbon credits…

Wow that is nuts! Almost seems like the MSM reporting on "carbon emissions" is one sided and totally omits the real factual story. I never knew this and appreciate you sharing it. Everybody should know this it puts everything in a different light!

I will paste my post on a different forum because it about sums it up in my humble opinion (This post was about the UK's plan to dim the sun):

Climate change goes in cycles and is natural. Human life and plant and animal life have lived with warmer temperatures and higher carbon in the atmosphere at various times in geological history. Don’t forget plants adore carbon dioxide.
Human beings are pushing things along but we are not by any shape way or form the cause of the natural trends. We are merely pushing a naturally occurring wave.
The hubris to not only put us at the centre of the universe for this, in order to provide some flimsy mental foundation for this con game, but to also think we can solve or change such a huge ‘wave’ with our puny technology is pure madness.
I can’t believe this is even being discussed let alone planned.

[SurferSoul]

I would suggest that climate change is being used as part of Agenda 30, the monetisation of natural resources and the clamp downs on travel and autonomy. Notice how pollution is never mentioned, carbon monoxide poisoning isn’t mentioned, except in relation to carbon or nitrogen and climate change. Both these are essential for life. Yet they want to punish farmers and ban fossil fuels. 

The real reason is to switch everything and everyone to electricity, which can be metered, monitored and connected to the “internet of things” it’s all about control ultimately, compliance through control.

Ooookay.  Let me step in with some education, since I did major in biology in college (back in the Jurassic era) :

What they are trying to do is RESTORE the balance of the ocean and the land.  

Yes, cycles are natural, but human activity (and things like Large Igneous Provinces https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_igneous_province) disrupt Earth's balance, and in the case of the LIP, have been the cause of at least two Great Extinctions and possibly some minor ones as well.

There's too much carbon in the sea right now, and the ocean water is becoming more acidic.  The oceans are picking up excess carbon dioxide that's in the atmosphere (https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/acidification.html)  When the ocean's pH changes, that changes the amount of a major chemical that corals and shellfish use to build their structures (and shells.)  So they die off.  (https://coastadapt.com.au/ocean-acidific...ts-effects)

Remember the bleaching coral reefs?  That's due to the change in the acidifcation of the ocean.

And yes, life is that sensitive.  The life we have today evolved with oceans that are slightly "basic" (pH of 8.2), but right now the ocean pH is around 8.1.  While that might not sound like a lot, a change in YOUR body's natural pH level of that small amount will send you into "acidosis."  

So, they're trying to save the fish and crabs and mussels (and whales, but mostly the fishing industry.)  Fish and frogs are EXTREMELY sensitive to changes in the environment, which is why they are biomarker species for the health of the planet.  Anyone who remembers pre-EPA America (with killer smogs, rivers that caught fire, landfills that polluted the skies with burning tires for years, etc, etc) has a pretty good idea of how quickly things can go bad and how long it takes (decades) for the land and rivers to recover, even with cleanup and seeding of key species.




You might sneer at the efforts, but I do remember Polluted America and I worked (and did some research) at a major Superfund site (a place where the land had been so polluted that you couldn't step into the water.)  I'm very much in favor of this research and I hope it works out.  I want to continue enjoying shrimp and clams for many years to come.
