We need to draw around 3 gigatons of CO2 every year to help start efforts in reducing CO2 emissions. Like he said in the video this is quite a big number that is hard to process/ understand. It is also interesting he showed a graph of all the climate change meetings and call to actions, but yet climate change is still on the rise and none of those meetings worked.

He wanted to increase the growth of seaweed in some areas and I found this a bit problematic because I remembered reading that doing that can change ecosystems. It can overgrow and take over.

I guess a challenging part of this idea was understanding the numbers and scales of it all. It is hard to visualize one ton of CO2, but he's talking giga.

I don't think it is impossible. In South Korea they are already doing it and have created a small community from it where they can grow seaweed and fish together. I feel like this can be economical and persuade people in wanting to get into it.

Some issues I foresee is the increased anthropogenic factors on marine systems. Humans have already ruined the land, and a solution that includes more human contact with delicate ecosystems just doesn't sound smart, especially because so little is known about the ocean.

I don't think this is realistic especially because there are currently 0 seaweed farms right now. There would also be a lot of issues with determining where these farms are placed, who would be responsible for handling the farm, who pays for it, etc.

I think it was slightly confusing understanding why cutting seaweed down and dropping it a certain level in the ocean would eliminate its carbon footprint.

I found the concept as a whole really interesting. Seaweed is seemingly common and not remarkable, but it grows up to a meter a day. Every part of seaweed is productive and has the potential to remove much of the atmospheric greenhouse gasses.

that if 9% of the ocean was seaweed farms, we could draw down a years worth of greenhouse gases! I was definetely surprised at how effective seaweed seems to be as a biological solution to removing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

it was a little confusing to understand exactly how this would be implemented - he mentioned mobile farms, charring seaweed, etc and there did not seem to be a concrete process

I think this would be difficult to fund, implement, and regulate, especially on the large global scale that Flannery mentions

I'm not sure if its currently realistic, but I have hope that its possible! I think if there was more public awareness of the issue and an economic value for seaweed as food, we could more easily justify and implement a large number of seaweed farms

# data[].attributes.body
I think the most interesting thing was how not only would seaweed be able to cut down on greenhouse gases but also makes water less acid where marine protein would be easily farmed. That farming could produce up to 200 kg of protein per person per year for a population of 10 billion

# data[].attributes.body
A lot of the ocean is not yet been evaluated for regulation policies or been explored fully yet. It would be a long operation to implement that can take decades since oceans have to be mapped and evaluated before letting seaweed farming take place.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's very hard to imagine since there hasn't been anything like this occur before so it's all new. Plus with the ocean having a large biodiversity, there needs to be an evaluation of the life and if they will be affected both long and short term before this project can get the green light.

# data[].attributes.body
I like that he included more ways that the seaweed can help, rather than just solely focusing on greenhouse gases. We could potentially provide 200 kg of protein per person every year! Imagine what that could do for world hunger!

# data[].attributes.body
I also think that it was a little confusing understanding why cutting the seaweed down and it going to the bottom of the ocean thus eliminates the carbon footprint. I'd like a more detailed explanation of that.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the biggest problem is that this is going to have to be a global collaboration. This doesn't sound like a necessarily cheap process, and a lot of countries will have to agree to work together to even begin to think to get started.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm not entirely sure if I believe that this goal is realistic. 9% of the ocean is still a significant portion. There's a lot that would have to be figured out to get started - where will the seaweed farms be, who will maintain them, who will reap the benefits of them economically, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think I realized how big 9% of the ocean was. It sounds like such a small percent, but it would be the same amount of space as 4.5 Australias.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is challenging to understand how the seaweed locks up the carbon. He mentioned it going below a certain level in the ocean, but I am still confused about it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think a big issue that might come up is how the new seaweed farms will affect other ocean organisms.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it is definitely possible because humans have been able to accomplish major things in relatively short time spans. I think that it might be more realistic to try and split the amount of photosynthetic organisms needed to capture all of the carbon between the land and sea though.
