Artificial upwelling is a form of geoengineering that aims to use pipes and pumps to channel cool, nutrient-rich water from the deep ocean to the surface. In doing so, it could fertilize surface waters, prompting the growth of plankton, which can then absorb and store large amounts of atmospheric carbon.

Mongabay Environmental News · Marine artificial upwelling, problematic climate solution slow to advanceArtificial upwelling is a geoengineering climate solution with a long history. The concept: mimic natural ocean upwelling by pumping cold, nutrient-rich seawater up from ocean depths via pipes to the surface. There it can cause a growth surge in CO2-absorbing plankton, nourishing aquaculture and tackling climate change. Closer to shore, the technique could even protect […]
Just as there's no planet B, there's no planet β.
There's simply no representative testing ground for geoengineering against climate crisis which has any hope of accurately representing the results as they would affect life on earth.
Neither planet wide or over any meaningful period of time.
Any kind of atmospheric manipulation or similar is a stab in the dark with the entire planet at stake.

The true great derangement of our time—across cultural production, public policymaking, and every other domain—is the denialism that acknowledges the changing climate but seeks resolution through the very systems that are causing global warming.

Apropos the UK's ARIA doing crazy funding here's a link to a paper I'm a co-author on (soon to be accepted I think) where we argue against polar #geoengineering in rather strong terms.
TL;DR:
"We evaluate five highly-publicized polar 'geoengineering' proposals and point to significant issues and risks relating to technological availability, logistical feasibility, cost, predictable adverse consequences, environmental damage, scalability (in time and space), governance, and ethics. According to our assessment, no current geoengineering idea passes an objective and comprehensive test regarding its use in the coming decades. Rather, many of the proposed ideas are environmentally dangerous. Given their feasibility challenges and risks of negative consequences, these ideas should not distract from the priority to reduce greenhouse gas emissions."

On a somewhat different theme, on Tuesday morning in Session CL3.2.4, Marie Cavitte will give an oral presentation on the many reasons the polar regions need to be safeguarded from some of the dangerous #geoengineering ideas that have been gaining a lot of publicity recently.

"New technologies are helping to regrow Arctic sea ice. But should we use them?" by @Grist - An experiment in the Arctic pumps seawater up to thicken the top of the ice layer in winter, which then naturally promotes twice the additional thickness from the bottom of the ice as well. So far it shows areas treated this way have sea ice last longer into the summer. They're studying to understand environmental side effects/impacts. https://grist.org/climate/new-technologies-are-helping-to-regrow-arctic-sea-ice/ #ClimateChange #geoengineering #science
Grist · Global warming is melting Arctic sea ice. Can science refreeze it?
Well, it was nice knowing you all...
The odds of some for-profit govt contractor not making a worse hot mess of the climate is pretty much zero.

(My two cents: As long as we keep igniting carbon bombs in exponential manner, no amount of geoengineering will be able to mitigate the effects.)

Um yeah. Sounds like a great idea! <sarc> And if it doesn't work, we can just vacuum the stuff out of the sky with a giant dustbuster! And yeah -- I totally trust secretive Israeli nuclear scientists to look out for people and the planet!
