from calcium carbonate, including corals, mollusks, and many
plankton.

Lightening everywhere that people actually
live (another idea
from the Hamwey paper) gets you 0.19 W / m ²; increasing the area of
plankton blooms that seed the creation of clouds in parts of the southern ocean gives you just 0.016 W / m ² (and that may be an overestimate) and restricting yourself to just creating shinier cities gives you no more than 0.01 W / m ².
