[Editors: We don't think ecosocialists should be ignorant of the tech schemes under experimentation but we do need to maintain a sharply critical attitude.  

This sounds a lot like carbon sequestration on land - who really knows if it will stay down there, and there is evidence in some cases it does not!

Another obvious question is how much energy would have to be expended to put it down there?

On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina made landfall off the coast of Louisiana, triggering a slow-moving disaster as floodwaters breached the levees around New Orleans. Nearly 2,000 people were killed over several weeks, hundreds of thousands of homes were destroyed, and the city was left in ruins. Environmental scientists warned that Katrina was a taste of what was in store for the Gulf Coast region if climate change continued unchecked.
