A matter of balance. It makes the world better for us, better for the
creatures we share the Earth with. Then there will be more of them for us to
eat.


Then you need to read some of the literature on the subject... g

I believe I read, however, that all the trees on land don't come close to
absorbing as much CO2 as the oceans do. All that limestone has to come from
somewhere. Calcium carbonate from ocean critters dying and falling to the
bottom of the sea. A never-ending cycle. Hopefully, that is.


I believe that's right or something like that.
