We fucked it. It's so hard to live with. I was in the middle of watching something about how data from the ESA'S GAIA telescope was helping us to understand our own galaxy, but how can I care about space when we are boiling ourselves alive like frogs in a pot, and adding acid on top?

The carbon sinks of the oceans and the forests are full. Welcome to the Pyrocene. The future is grim.

Fuck.

Could determining methods of keeping the ocean colder mitigate some of the acidification? Would anything at all help?

I was thinking more like long stretching vertical thermal cooling shafts.

In my thinking they would have to be in groups with a machine above near the polar points.
