    please enlighten me on how we could compress and pump millions of tons of CO2 without any energy input. I know one thing- it has nothing to do with entropy. If you have the key here, you are poised to be a billionaire. Best of luck to you.

    ..:: “Fifty-five million years ago when we had an event like this (and that took over 10,000 years to occur), it took the oceans over 125,000 years to recover, just to get the chemistry back to normal”

    ..:: “Every day, 20 MILLION TONS of that CO2 are absorbed into the OCEANS, thereby increasing the overall ACIDITY of the OCEANS.

    By 2100, Ocean acidity will increase another 150 to 200 hundred percent.

    This is a dramatic change in the acidity of the oceans. And it has a serious impact on our ocean ecosystems…

    Bryan Lovell doesn’t know what he’s talking about (regarding carbon sequestration), so according to his own rules, he should STFU. He clearly has never heard of the concept of ENTROPY!
    You can put that CO2 back into the ground without consuming/burning even MORE energy than it took to put the CO2 into the air in the first place!
