You can’t use the ocean as a carbon accounting trick without seriously looking at ocean acidification, which always occurs during large mass extinctions, according to the geological records we have discovered. Dead oceans mean a dead planet, at least for a few millennia if not longer. And ocean acidification happens because the CO2 in the atmosphere mixes with ocean water turning into carbonic acid, slowly but inevitably raising the pH by orders of magnitude unimaginable outside the worst geologic and extinction level crises. This is the problem with ‘net-zero’ vs actual zero emissions...
