another naive article, this time from Harvard, that fails to mention the term "ocean acidification". At some point krill cannot form their exoskeletons, bringing an abrupt end to whales and other sea creatures.
- curtis 10y agoI don't think it's reasonable to expect every article about global warming to mention "ocean acidification". Displacing fossil fuel power generation with nuclear power plants would certainly reduce ocean acidification, but nevertheless most of the nuclear power articles I've read neglect to mention this fact. There are other forms of climate engineering that would address C02 directly. One that's received a fair amount of press is "iron fertilization"[1]. I don't know, but my guess is that most people who talk about "solar geoengineering" (of any sort) probably think we're going to be doing solar geoengineering, iron fertilization, and probably multiple other forms of climate engineering at the same time. But not every article that discusses iron fertilization mentions sulfur dioxide, and not every article that talks about stratospheric sulfur dioxide mentions iron fertilization.
