Offsetting Global Warming By Trapping Carbon Dioxide On The Bottom Of The Ocean

Imagine a gigantic, inflatable, sausage-like bag capable of storing 160 million tons of carbon dioxide — the equivalent of 2.2 days of current global emissions. Now try to picture that container, measuring up to 100 meters in radius and several kilometers long, resting benignly on the seabed more than 3 kilometers below the ocean’s surface. This may offer a viable solution because vast flat plains cover huge areas of the deep oceans. These abyssal plains have little life.
