The idea that this is even possible is simply providing excuses to continue current rates of fossil fuel usage
โOh weโll just remove it laterโ

It is well understood that carbon sequestration is a pipe dream and that even the most efficient theoretical designs for it have negligible impact.
We are FAR too far off from effective removal of CO2 from our atmosphere.
Pretending otherwise is peddling oil propaganda
Lots of climate activists urgently need to wake up and accept that at this point the only realistic way to limit global warming is massive amounts of carbon dioxide removal, everywhere, all at once. And, yes, that will also make it possible to continue using fossil fuels.
Manatees and dugongs belong to the order Sirenia, which comes from the Greek 'siren'. It is believed that sightings of these animals by sailors resulted in the origin of mermaid myths. ๐ง #ManateeAppreciationDay

Weโve spent this week talking about animal culture in the #Ocean, so now letโs chat about human culture! In Alaska, the native Inupiaq hunt bowhead #Whales without overharvesting them, and in the last 40 years the whale population has tripled under their care.
Do #Whales have hit songs just like we do? #Humpback whales learn songs to mate, but youโd be surprised how similar their songs are to ours! They use similar song structure, using parts somewhat similar to choruses and verses.
