Carbon Sequestration

An Anonymous Coward writes "Yesterday the Boston Globe printed an article about 'carbon sequestration' techniques - an example of which involves injecting carbon dioxide into the ocean as an answer to greenhouse warming. The Bush administration is supporting this as the preferred alternative to emission controls."

algee problem..

...didn't have the time to read the article but anyways....

Every greenhouse grower is aware of the fact that carbon dioxied can be used as fertilizer in some cases.

If carbon dioxide is solved in the sea this will probably act as fertilizer for carbon fixing algees (the ones that produce all the oxygen for us).
This will probably mean more algees in the oceans.

Problem is that if we get to much algees near the coastline (where all the emitted carbon dioxide is) we might get problems like anaerobic conditions on the sea ground (created by dead algee degrading on the the sea ground)

this will result in:
* dead fishes
* corals, bye bye.
* a lot of trouble

(same thing happends if we flush out to much phosphates and other nutrients from industries, agriculture and cities.)
I nice (bad) example of this is the baltic sea witch has low waterexchange to the rest of the world sea. Surrounded by Russia, the baltic countries, Poland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden (YES! we went to the playoffs) and Finland.
Result:
Dead sea ground,

I don't know what to think....
.... and who is right?
