After a couple of days all the Special K sank. I think this is rather neat. It gives you a couple of days to whiten and insulate the ocean - just long enough to mess up a hurricane. Then it can either end up as food for bottom-feeders or it will sequester the carbon. I think it could be worth a

Remember, that crashing waves might well be an important factor to consider in lifetime of the floating material. The approach has to limit evaporation, not so much heat transfer, and it is a bit hard to see how one would cover the waves in any sort of continuous way without a much larger amount

Dear Andrew, If the water temperature is warmer than the air you will insulate the water and make it warmer. What color will the Special K be after a few days if it is eat? What happens to the (additional) fish near the surface when the hurricane comes? If not the cooling effect will increase
