| Summary/Abstract |
Ocean fertilisation has been identified as one of the few methods by which catastrophic global warming and ocean acidification may be averted. One proposal involves the novel concept of using buoyant, long-lasting flakes to deliver lacking nutrients to potentially productive surface waters. According to William Sev Clarke, this method could restore oceanic and atmospheric carbon levels to pre-industrial ones, provide time for a managed transition to a low-carbon economy and stimulate global economic development.
