So burying plant stock will not have an plants?
This is how SciFi dystopian novels start.
Later “unforeseen…cascading…we then tried…zombies…”
“Nature-based solutions are a great way of removing carbon,”

If only there were some other way ... hummm. Plants?
“Nature-based solutions are a great way of fleecing tax dollars from hard working people.”
Is high saline plant content good for anything…but bar snacks?
What climate crisis?
Why not just plant a bunch of trees?
so we extract algae from the ocean, grow it in seawater we extract from the ocean, let it pull carbon from the atmosphere, then harvest it and dry it in the dry desert air to bury it in a shallow grave to store carbon for thousands of years.
all things algae would do naturally in the seawater to begin with... sheesh, these guys are killing it.
And a sprinkler system.
We can do much better to cure the desert climate on the Northern Sahara.
Set up Small Modular nuclear reactors near the seashore, and use the heat generated by the reactor to distill sea water, collect the resulting water vapor in cooling condensation towers, and pipe the pure and mineral-free water eastward into the arid lands of the the desert. The desert will begin to bloom, and as the number and locations of the nuclear-powered seawater stills are increased, the volume of water being pumped eastward across the desert continues to expand the arable land, eventually reaching Egypt and the Nile River. An enormous green belt is thus established across territory that once served as the bread basket of the Roman Empire, and for a while, the specter of starvation is once again staved off.
There is an awful lot of Sahara desert to be turned back into a green belt, and the resulting change would be overall highly beneficial to mankind, but it may conflict with those for whom an economic model built around scarcity rather than abundance, is their personal path to power and influence.
This sounds like some scheme which runs off grants from some source with much of the money flowing back into certain pockets. The left has innumerable money laundering schemes to fund themselves in their efforts to take over and control everything, and it’s always with OPM (other peoples’ money).
Just another boondoggle plan to get free money to do nothing.
global warming really is their religion. They are worshipping creation instead of the Creator. Sick stuff.
The sahara has served as a nice deterrent to northern immigration of sub-saharans. I see no reason to change it.

Use solar panels for energy to salinize water and pump it into desert-located tree farms. Start small, prove the concept, then start scaling up.
Lather, rinse, repeat in any suitable locations.
Alternatively, the water could be used to build up grasslands. Livestock eat the grass, and replenish the soil with their excrement. This has been proven to work.
I am going to patent and trademark my GreenStuff ™, give my self a fancy title and hire a retarded Swedish teenage spokesgirl to be beg government for funding so I can save the planet.
Yep.
There are no good solutions to a non-existent problem. If 30 million head of cattle pose a threat to the planet how did it handle 60 million bison?
" As far as price, Taylor is coy: 'I anticipate a great position for us in the US$50-$100/ton high quality credit market.' This would significantly undercut current operations like Switzerland's Climeworks, which, last we checked, was costing between US$600-$1,000 per ton in 2021 and shooting for closer to US$250/ton by 2025."This and many similar projects (scams) seem to be counting on the "carbon credit market," which is no market at all, but a seller of pieces of "feel good" paper.Om "Brilliant Planet plans cheap, gigaton-scale carbon capture using algae" New Atlas, Loz Blain, April 26, 2022

As a listed company, their current stock price is $3.41. From a high of $18.49 in 7 November 2021, the price has dropped significantly. This suggests in part the current news is....

If you had bought shares at $18.49 less than two years ago, your current loss would be -$15.06 a share.
If you had bought "carbon credits," you would have nothing over time, as multiple "carbon credit" trading schemes have lasted a few years and then folded. These "voluntary markets" have an interesting history. Such as the Chicago Climate Exchange.
