"We fucked up the air globally in <50y, lets fuck up the ocean faster to un-fuck the air issue temporarily".
But seriously, we lack the understanding to do local geo-engineering, much less at global scale. Hard pass.
Reducing CO2 emissions by going green and EVs (and not just EV cars), and removing CO2, is a longer but much more controllable and stable approach. I just wish we had better battery technology already, but we spent the last 100y deluding ourselves that a finite non-renewable energy source, that messed up our only biosphere, was the only course of action.
