This is how the earth cycles carbon around and regulates the level of carbon dioxide in the air.
The Earth actually tends to do it with plankton, fish bones, and shells...creating calcium carbonate on ocean floors. Sometimes buried for a long time, such as the white cliffs of Dover were, elsewhere carried into the Earth for a while in tectonic action. If Gold is correct, a fair amount of it then trickles back up as oil.
A faster way to safely sequester carbon is, as someone else mentioned, to fertilize the ocean. Encourage plankton growth and they'll take huge amounts of carbon to the ocean floor. "Give me a ship full of iron and I'll give you an Ice Age".
You need to know what is actually involved in this "dumping carbon dioxide in an ocean".
Do a web search on ocean carbon sequestration and you'll find that what is being studied is putting frozen or liquid carbon dioxide in the deep ocean. So far down that the pressure makes it stay liquified. You end up with a large puddle on the ocean floor, far below tuna and other fishies...except the few deep-ocean creatures, and that does require more study.
Actually, the best spot for this would be at a subduction area where one tectonic plate is slipping under another...and the carbon can get carried along.

And did your teacher also remember the good old days in the 1970s when scientists were concerned about the global cooling trend? There is no sign that the cycle of ice ages has ended.
I doubt your teacher is old enough to have experienced the Little Ice Age a few hundred years ago, but did he mention that too?
Actually, if you read the company's article, they had a product which protected IIS before they found this bug. It mentions that they found this IIS bug when testing types of bugs which their "Application Firewall" protects IIS from.
And this company is already making money from MS bugs. They're part of the anti-virus and security industry which has grown up around MS bugs. That's innovation, when industries grow for decades on your garbage!
Yes, I was wondering about the article saying "flying lower than rooftops" at 600 feet. Does Sydney really have more than a dozen or two buildings taller than 40 stories? Looking at a chart, I see only a dozen tall objects in the city area (there also is a group of towers along the hill NW of the city near Richmond).
Before the Internet, you'd ask your local book dealer to find a book. He'd look at the ads in bookstore trade publications or he'd place an ad. Then he'd negotiate with the bookstores which have the book and negotiate a price with you. Eventually you'd have your copy of "From Link Lake / Canadian Stories".
You can't make copies of your moldy old couch if parts are protected by patents. The design might also have copyright protection...your couch is really old if copyright has expired.
There aren't enough used books on the Internet to affect new book sales. Go look at the listed quantity of a Tom Clancy book on Amazon.com or Half.Com. OK, you see there are 400 copies available? How many copies do you think are sold in a month by the ten bookstores and drugstores closes to you?
Books that aren't in print aren't affected by used book sales. Publishers get rid of those books within a year or two. They used to warehouse them for decades, but the tax benefit they used was removed and the publishers couldn't afford to pay both those expenses and their taxes.
If the book is still in print then it's much more convenient to pick one up near you.
But once books are not in print they vanish -- the publishers used to keep warehouses full of books that were 20-30 years old. But tax laws and courts changed the rules, so they could no longer could use their old inventory to reduce their taxes. Now publishers get rid of books in a short time.
Restricting used books has been tried. The example which first comes to mind is the publisher a long time ago who put a license in books which prohibited resale. Courts rejected it.
You're comparing the eBay costs to the costs in the real world for a specific item in your location. You're pointing out a specific situation where the eBay cost is greater than what you can find nearby.
If someone can't find that item nearby or can't find it easily (the definition of "nearby" and "easily" is subjective), then the eBay price becomes cheaper than the real world price.
In the real world you have to consider how valuable your searching time and resources (ie, automobile expenses) are. If you know exactly where to get cheaply what you want, or if you place little value on your time, then your real world costs are small.
The example which makes this more obvious is to look at something outside your expertise. How much time and travel would be needed for you to find a 1969 Mustang hubcap or a Romanian porcelain doll? How many flea markets and garage sales would you have to visit?

There doesn't seem to be much of a market for hungry children. There's more of a market for computers; you can sell yours, go to Somalia, buy a farm and participate.

"So I decide to eBay the books...and it goes for £50. That's about $75 in your money....lots of people selling it but nobody really buying it."
You know you're a real Star Trek fanatic when you buy your memorabilia from yourself.
I expect that if the nanotech which has been described is accomplished, a sunscreen which applies itself is the obvious overengineered sunscreen.
And as aluminum is a very common element, I wouldn't be surprised at a fad of silver-coated beachgoers. Quickly followed by Halloween costumes that make you resemble the liquid Terminator...
They're already planning to spend money. They article said the museum is deciding which expert to choose. If those were volunteer experts they could all be given the data, thus the museum is choosing who to pay.

Well done. Now change the font code in Windows to control the maximum size.

But explosions in the Matrix don't have to look real. I think they want them to be unreal. Remember the helicopter in the original movie?
We'll never see it. We're trapped in the 1990s, when humanity was at its peak.
The butler did it while Atlanta was burning and the snowplows tried to clear the runway.

Well, you can go to Census.Gov and look at their statistics on Retail Bookstore sales over the years. They keep going up.
Engineering Economics on Half.Com (an eBay company now). In stock.

Maybe it's policy to use BN, but in this case it would make sense to list that The Perfect Store is available on Half.Com (an eBay company now).
There are no hydrinos for sale on eBay, so I guess those deep pockets bought them all already.
You're in favor of them using something other than bare hands?
I liked the production Porsche which in the lab was programmed to walk up stairs. Walking would be convenient for some parking situations.
