< p > < a href = " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4Hnv_ZJSQY&ab_channel=Freethink" rel="nofollow noreferrer">youtube video American entrepreneur Russ George claims that - based on research of oceanographer John Martin and some experiments he made in British Columbia - pouring mineral dust into the ocean will make the plankton bloom and in turn it will allow the ocean to remove the vast majority of humanity carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. He says that the amount of mineral dust (iron ore rock dust) required is in the order of the hundreds of thousands of tons. He claims that this process will mitigate climate change in a matter of years and it will cost some millions of dollars. He says that this process (that he calls 'Ocean pasture restoration') is capable to pull 30/35 billions of tons of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere every year while humanity produces 45 billions of tons of carbon dioxide de every year.
Is this a real solution to climate change as this person claims or not?
