Store them in the way of bicarbonate/carbonate solutions that can be carried in waterways leading them to oceans. Solutions on lakes formed with fountains can be encouraged with rocks placed close to water inlets on golf courses, recreation parks and elsewhere. Parminder Singh On Monday,

To Olaf, I don't think it was Andrew's own statement that CCS is cheap and secure; he's posting a cut of an abstract that is of interest just because CCS is geoengineering-related. I do appreciate your cautions about CCS and am interested in the potential for natural processes to sequester

I was shocked by Andrew’s statement that CCS is cheap and operationally proven secure. Capturing CO2, cleaning it, and compressing it to high pressures to push it in empty gas reservoirs is an operation that is far from secure. The Weyburn field in Canada, the showpiece of CCS, in which several
