Ocean Solutions: The Disputed Effort to Capture Carbon and Fight Climate Change.

A company called Planetary Technologies is trying to fight climate change in a special way. They are putting a mixture of water and a mineral called magnesium oxide into the ocean.

Planetary believes that this mixture will absorb harmful gases from the air and trap them in the ocean. Many other companies are also trying different methods to use the ocean to fight climate change.

Some companies are growing seaweed because it absorbs carbon dioxide like trees do. Others are sinking things like wood chips to the bottom of the ocean to store the carbon they contain.

While these companies are excited about their work, some people are worried about the effects on the ocean. They believe that more research needs to be done to make sure these methods are safe.

Planetary says they are being careful and that their method is safe for ocean life. They believe that acting quickly is important to address the urgent problem of climate change.
