Introduction
Scope and purpose:
Undoing the damage of 200 years of anthropogenic carbon emission by rapid carbon sequestration.

Adding trace amounts of the micronutrient IRON to high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll ocean regions spark the growth of microscopic sea plants called phytoplankton

Inducing oceanic phytoplankton photosynthesis with production of calcium carbonbate shells result in "Marine Snow" sinking to the ocean floor, locking carbon away in the deep sea for centuries or millennia.
Means
Quite literally our planet's climate is changing so rapidly that records are being smashed every successive year.

Unprecedented fires are scorching the planet, drought, floods, rising sea level, melting polar ice caps are threatening life as we know it.

Yet there is a force that insists this is not happening and is not connected with the emission of carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels.

The evidence is clear... CLIMATE SCIENCE DENIERS are responsible for the damage and are accountable for the acceleration of changes in the past 50 years.

They knew about the greenhouse effect and the insulating properties of these gases.They knowingly chose to suppress the facts and mount a campaign to decieve the public.

We have one chance to REVERSE THE PROCESS. It is called CARBON SEQUESTRATION.

JOIN us.
we know what to do.
DOING NOTHING IS NOT AN OPTION
We can not afford to do anything but massive carbon sequestration. Net zero carbon emission won't work by itself.
Humans are responsible for 1.5 trillion tons of CO2 emitted since the industrial revolution. That's 1,500 billion tons aka 1,500 gigatons of CO2. If we were to double the rate of CO2 natural sequestration ~40 GT/yr) by phytoplankton to 80 GT/ year, it would take about 38 years to sequester the amount we emitted.

Wrap your head around this.. A railroad car can hold about 100 tons of compressed, liquified gas. That means that it would take 15 billion railroad cars to hold the amount of compressed gas equal to that humans are responsible for emitting.

An average railroad car is about 80 feet long. That means that
a train holding the equivalent compressed gas emitted by man would wrap around the circumference (26,000 miles) of the earth 8,741 times!.
Grassroots Class Action
Regardess of who is to blame, the remedial action must proceed. Waiting for litigation is not an option.
but like "Big Tobacco", "Climate Science Deniers" will fail and be held accountable.
The relative concentration of CO2 has increased from 280 ppm (parts per million pre-industrial time) to 434 ppm (average today) or 0.028% to 0.043% That may seem inconsequential in comparison to 21% Oxygen or 78% Nitrogen. But CO2 has some specific properties that are very significant. It absorbs strongly in the IR which significantly insulates the planet by inhibiting radiative cooling and it is a Lewis acid which causes seawater to become more acidic.

434ppm CO2 is unprecedented over the past 800,000 years, We are seeing climate chabge iin real time, This is not weather fluctuatuing. It is stteady increase in temperature, The ability ofthe ocean to absorb the CO2 has limits. Whether the CO2 is causal to the increase in temperature is becoming a certainty,

There are many factors to be considered.
