Abstract
Growing awareness of the impending effects on climate of increasing levels of
CO2 in the atmosphere has generated wide debate at an
international level that is directed towards a variety of
CO2 control strategies. Of these, direct disposal of
liquid CO2 into the deep ocean offers a number of
potential advantages: the oceanic reservoir is very large, and has the ability
to buffer chemical changes caused by CO2 addition. In
addition, time scales of mixing in the ocean are very long. This paper reviews
some of the scientific evidence associated with this emerging form of global
engineering, and discusses some of the important concepts in terms of the
global carbon cycle.
