well scaling a natural process will change the chemistry of the ocean. Since the ocean is such a huge component of our planetary system it would be foolish of us to approach it without monitoring and planning for the consequences of this scale of engineering.

i've found https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/pdf/10.1146/annurev.energy... to be a pretty good overview.

most of the plans to sequester carbon in the ocean make me worry about how that would impact the broader ecosystem. As I understand it, it would change the chemistry of the ocean, which might trade one disaster for another. Not to mention ideally sequestration would last for millennia.
