Summary
Researchers in the Northeast have poured 65,000 liters of red-dyed sodium hydroxide into the Gulf of Maine in order to conduct a geoengineering project which, they claim, might combat climate change. This trial—officially called the LOC-NESS project—took place last August 50 miles off the coast of Massachusetts. Scientists from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution poured several tons of the bright red chemical into the water over the course of four days. The thinking is that by making the ocean more alkaline, it will suck in more CO2 from the atmosphere, and turn it into baking soda. Let’s go through the details together.
