CO2 not sole determinant of ocean pH. The pH of the ocean depends not only on atmospheric CO2 content, but also how much time that CO2 has had to spread through the ocean and interact with carbonate sediments, and how much carbonate and silicate rock weathering has occured on land.

There is a theory that the rising of the Himalayas and the Tibetan plateau provided the barrier that made the South Asian monsoons possible, and a secondary theory that the increased rainfall on the freshly raised mountain slopes weathered so much rock that the planet's levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide took a dive, to precipitate 30 million years of Ice Ages.

For decades, it has been a given that heavy rainfall on steep mountain slopes is likely to chemically weather the exposed rock and precipitate a chemical reaction that ends with carbonate minerals on the ground and with less of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

It is true that more practical research has been done on some CDR techniques, but to imply that large - scale biochar or BECCS plantations, ocean iron - fertilisation (OIF), ocean alkalinisation or enhanced weathering by spreading rock dust over millions of square kilometres — to name but a few CDR options — are well tested and low - risk is (to put it bluntly), also «nuts».

Life on land, argues Schwartzman, has intensified the chemical weathering of rocks such that carbon dioxide has been removed from the atmosphere and the surface temperature of the Earth has remained cooler than if life had not been present - a kind of inverted global warming.

Eventually, over hundreds of millennia, weathering of rocks will deposit all of this initial CO2 pulse on the ocean floor as carbonate sediments [168].

The argument was that the carbon cycle goes well beyond your silly little budget — nowhere mentioned previously in this thread so just more bad faith and not your argument at all — well beyond slow sequestration based on rock weathering rates — and well beyond a constant rate of increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

«Enhanced weathering» of minerals is a twist on a slow moving process that naturally turns CO2 in the air into rocks.

«The natural pH of the ocean is determined by a need to balance the deposition and burial of CaCO3 on the sea floor against the influx of Ca2 + and CO2 − 3 into the ocean from dissolving rocks on land, called weathering.
