When I see the big carbon capture plants, the thought that comes to my mind is 'a big manmade problem would need an even bigger manmade solution'.
Here the novel approach of harnessing the amazing power of nature is something truly amazing.
I have become a fan of this concept and I am thinking how can I contribute to this...
Kudos to the entire team...

this is a fantastic idea that will totally work

How big does the patch need to be to "capture" 1 gigaton of CO2?

[@miss1rabea]

I hope it'd work.

Or...we could eat it? Or don't eat the bad tasting ones. 😆

now we have a huge seaweed blob the size of the U.S. headed for beaches.

This is great...but I wouldn't be visiting since it smells like a full baby diaper!

Although I support these efforts, the ocean is billions of times more forceful then the scientists that are hard at work.

Your comment doesn't make any sense!

They are trying to grow out eventually in the gyre area , with a predictable swirling current.
