As a side note, I'm hopeful that the genetic modification of the Azolla to be salt water resistant could make similar mass carbon sequestration possible in somewhere like the Dead Sea. I haven't heard of any organization working on it yet though.
- baq 6y agothe fact that it took a ~800k years to reduce atmospheric CO2 from 3500 to 650 might have something to do with it... IF we somehow found a way of getting this much water in a single place (flood half of sahara?) it would 1) take ~30k years to lower ppm back to 300 if we stopped emissions and 2) it would probably kill the amazon rainforests which would lose its saharan dust fertilizer. if you don't do it in sahara, you have to get this much fertilizer from somewhere else. nevertheless people are exploring azolla: https://www.climatefoundation.org/azolla.html https://www.climatefoundation.org/azolla.html
