Our Oceans and Carbon Dioxide

So, I read two articles about CO2 in the atmosphere, and possible ways to reduce the amounts of it. The two articles, both found on the BBC website, contradict each other quite badly. The first talks about the possible use of algae and plankton in the ocean to absorb the CO2 and then take it to the bottom of the ocean (when it dies...not using the plankton as some kind of slave force). The problem with this method is the need of huge amounts of plankton. Which means the 'environmental' scientist geniuis' that came up with this idea, also decided that they would fertilise the ocean with iron, to encourage growth....You would think they learnt from our farmland pollution that fertilising nature causes problems.

The second article also spoke of CO2 (carbon dioxide) and its presence in the oceans. However, this article talks about the problems CO2 has been causing....Mostly...the fact that it is making the ocean acidic. (for those of you who don't know....CO2 + H20 = Hydrochloric acid), A lot of you will undoubtadly say "but the oceans are huge they can take it". Sure, they are big, and sure, they can take more than you or I, however, for so long our solution to pollution has been dillution (rhymes...gotta be true right?....wrong). It works to an extent, but not if we continue to do it, the organisms within will struggle to survive, coral reefs (which hold over 1/3 of ocean life) will suffer.

All in all, one bunch of scientist (paid to find a sollution to climate change no doubt) think its a great idea to shove CO2 into the ocean, whilst a bunch of wiser peoples think its a bad idea.
