Years of fomenting fear of 'climate change' and painting it as a dire crisis has opened up the general public to the predations of snake oil peddlers. With the public demanding immediate action and an immediate fix, they are primed to be ready to accept any and all proposed solutions. In this case the proposal is another instance of geoengineering a body of water that human science is still far from understanding in its role in the planet's climate. We still do not completely understand ocean chemistry nor its effect on the climate and consequently cannot model long term effects. Perhaps it's time to accept that just as it took a long time to create the current problem and it will take a long time to correct it. There is no silver bullet.
