[Coral-List] scientist letter Advancing Responsible Research and Development of Ocean-Based Carbon Dioxide Removal

[Aiste Klimasauskaite]

Hello everyone,

I am reluctant to sign the Ocean CDR letter. Among many reasons is the lack
of interdisciplinary voices in the text and the fact that the results will
not be about science, it will be about politics (just like the inclusion of
CDR/CCS in IPCC report...).

I would like my views to be challenged and to hear what coral researchers
think about this question. Specifically, not about restoration, but about
geoengineering (e.g., nutrient fertilization etc.).

Fish you well,
aiste
