Coping with Climate Change
A successful climate change policy will be the result of an integrated management of the carbon cycle. It will consist of efficient and long-term effective regulations that take into consideration the interaction between market conditions, innovation, and the evolution of the international climate change policy institutions. The quality of policies will depend on the way in which ecological, technological, economical, and political conditions are taken into account appropriately.
Carbon capture and storage in and below the oceans is seen as one of the future solutions for the CO2 problem.
Today two technical options are discussed: Storage of liquefied CO2 on or below the seabed or by enhancing the natural storage capacity of marine algae by fertilization.
