INSIGHT

Why Carbonating The Ocean Would Be Catastrophic

  • Carbonating the ocean would temporarily draw CO2 out of the atmosphere but create highly acidic water that would devastate marine ecosystems.
  • Hank explains CO2 forms carbonic acid in water, harming corals and shell-forming organisms, and the gas would eventually bubble back out, returning warming risks.
