There may be some arguments about what is meant by trapping and sequestering carbon. Some may argue that it should be reserved to long/geological term storage (sink) and not to transient storage (Lackner, 2003). This is, in fact, a question of how long one allows the recycling clock to run. There is no permanent storage of carbon, it happened to have been sequestered over geological time to suddenly be reused at an accelerated rate over the last few centuries. But the first law of thermodynamics, as enunciated by Antoine Laurent de Lavoisier more than two centuries ago, still applies: “Rien ne se perd, rien ne se crde, tout se transforme”, i.e. “Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed”. If even temporary removal of carbon from the ocean until further transformation can be credited for potentially increasing seawater pH and absorbing C02 from the atmosphere and/or the cultivated animals, then we can do the following calculations.
