Reply to comment by touchedbyadouchebag in scientists Find Way to Suck Carbon Out of the Air and Turn It into Baking Soda... by Minute_Drive5038

Do you understand that ruining the ocean because we jumped whole hog into something without analyzing it will also kill us?

Please see my “all of the above” phrasing. No one is suggesting “whole hog” anything. One scientist was quoted in the article saying the chemistry is elegant and innovative. Anything even remotely “elegant and innovative” deserves evaluation, improvement and investment. If we only focus and invest in efforts at reduction and conservation we are doomed by short term thinking and incumbent interests.

You may have said "all of the above," but you started with "Jesus fucking christ," and said that there are people "moaning" about the danger to the ocean. And let's be clear, there are so far no comments about ocean acidification on this post—meaning you can only be referring to the reasonable measured caution that's expressed in the article. You followed that with "Let's go!"

Taken all together, you're projecting a very "whole hog" picture here.
