Controversial experiment for climate crisis: 65 thousand litres of chemicals were released in the ocean

For four days in the year of the year, the US's Maine Bay's waters took a dark red shade. The image was pushing the toxic red alg explosion. However, this was not a natural event, but an experiment that science did. The grey pumped about 65 thousand liters of alkaline chemicals with red paint to the ocean. The aim was to test a new method that could provide more carbon absorption of the ocean. This method is known as 'Enhanus alkalinite' (Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement – OAE). This approach is believed that the natural rock wear processes are demanding to work in human time scales instead of geological time scales. Ochinograph Man Subhas, at the wind of the team tries the research, says the oceans are already extremely alkaline and stored in a huge amount of carbon. Oceans Wanted About 38 tons of carbon in galcarbonate. According to science, it can increase natural alkalineity with the help of a chemical antacid, make the ocean perfume more carbon dioxide than the atmosphere. This method is applied on a wide scale, and if it is pushed out with emissions reductions, it can help prevent global temperature from getting over two degrees according to the pre-industrial levels.

Deney passed 10 ton carbon ocean during the period]
The experiment was held at 80 kilometers of the Massachusetts coast in the control of the American Environmental Protection Agency and the Woods Hole Oşinography Institute. An area where types of violet, mezgit and lobster are mixed hung. The distinction of the monthly of the sodium hydrtine emitted on the sea during the work lasting five days with the help of underwater vehicles, sensors and robotic planers. Measurements showed that about 10 tons of carbon pass to the ocean during the experiment period and the pH value of the water rises from 7.95 to 8.3. This value means the ocean alkalinenity is approached to the pre-industrial levels. The research also did not detect a contour damage on living creatures such as plankton, fish and lobster entrepreneurs. Adult fish and sea mammals have not been involved. [[

Applications may give unpredictable results
] Some experts argue that trying to solve an environmental problem with chemicals is risky. Benjamin Day from Friends of the Earth organization in the U.S. said that the implementation of such technologies on a large scale can not be predicted and may give results in disaster. Other scientists have already done a ‘controlled experiment on climate by shelter a large amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Phil Renforth, rush in carbon removal from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, says: “Can we more proactive to manage this process?” The method is not actually new. In ancient Greek, used lime to reduce soil acidity. In the 1980s, the rivers damaged by acid rains in Scandinavia were alkaline, and in some regions, the fish population was rebound.

50 tons of carbon dioxide can be pulled into the ocean in one year
]Today some companies have started selling carbon payments based on OAE (Otoakustic emission) technology. These payments are implemented by companies who want to show their activities as ‘net zero ’. However, it is not clear that the method can be applied to the scale that can create the effect on climate. Subhas and its team is one of the first research that groups test this method in the open ocean. Researchers are now planning to model how much carbon dioxide absorbs in time of the chemical cloud. As a result of experiment in the best classification according to Subhas, it can be possible to combine the atmosphere to the ocean of 50 tons of carbon dioxide in about one year. This amount is worth the annual carbon emissions of about five British citizens. Science says that people are alively launched small scale of research as a reason why it looks like a small amount. The aim is to create a safe and transparent research method in this difficult environment. According to the US National Ocean and Atmosphere Administration, technology can be applied on a wide scale, 1 to 15 billion tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The cost of this is estimated to be up to about 160 dollars per ton.
