An MIT Energy Initiative study finds many climate-stabilization plans are based on questionable assumptions about the future cost and deployment of “direct air capture” and therefore may not bring about promised reductions.
Amazingly zooplankton does play a huge role in reducing CO2. The ocean carbon pump is a mammoth thing, and it’s effects are just from the combined movement of life, not phytoplankton’s direct FlCO2 storage.
Only phytoplankton. Quite a lot of plankton biomass consists of animals and single-celled organisms that don’t consume CO2.
