According to the report, «deploying
ocean iron fertilization at climatically relevant levels poses risks that outweigh potential benefits.»
Note 1: the NAS study includes ocean iron fertilization, which I haven't included in the above graphic because «previous studies nearly all agree that deploying
ocean iron fertilization at climatically relevant levels poses risks that outweigh potential benefits.»

As researchers concluded in a new study published in Geophysical Research Letters,
ocean iron fertilization can only prove successful as a climate geoengineering approach if, in addition to phytoplankton bloom stimulation, «a proportion of the particulate organic carbon (POC) produced must sink down the water column and reach the main thermocline or deeper before being remineralized... and the third phase is long - term sequestration of the carbon
at depth out of contact with the atmosphere.»
