Sounds like it would also directly cool surface water, by replacing it with very cold deep water. That cooling would directly reduce current average earth temp

That cooling would directly reduce current average earth temperatures, in addition to the CO2 impact on long term heating / cooling.
- Kirinius 5y agoNot sure in which measure this "cooling" (of oceans only) would have any impact on other parameters of global climate, but that's a project I'd be eager to work on anyways.
- ncmncm 5y agoThe ocean surface, when colder, absorbs heat from the atmosphere. But the effect of removing CO2 is much more important because CO2 blocks heat that comes in every day from space from escaping back to space. And, acidifies the ocean top, damaging the food chain at its roots.
