Co2 dissolved in water makes it acid, which is bad for plenty of sea life

  Yes, but the deep ocean is where almost all the CO2 we've released is going to end up, eventually. This is just accelerating that process.

    Why you might not want to accelerate that: > Effects of Ocean Acidification on Marine Phytoplankton https://cmi.princeton.edu/annual-meetings/annual-reports/year-2015/effects-of-ocean-acidification-on-marine-phytoplankton/ https://cmi.princeton.edu/annual-meetings/annual-reports/yea... > Regime shifts and ecological catastrophes in a model of plankton-oxygen dynamics under the climate change https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28456463/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28456463/

      You're not going to see phytoplankton 15,000 feet deep. Not living ones, anyway.

        Maybe I misunderstand the situation, but not all ocean acidification happens at great depths, does it?

          This was about deliberate injection of CO2 into the deep ocean.
