MIT: How to pull carbon dioxide out of seawater. Really!

Is this madness another result of the Global Warming hoax and Climate Change religion?

Witness the renaissance of the Medieval Ages! Superstition reigns supreme!

When scientists and engineers of one of the most recognized technology universities in the world go mad you better be watch out!

What is the environmental damage doing this? If CO2 is a life sustaining trace gas in the atmosphere, what is CO2 to the oceans of our planet?

"... Meanwhile, the world’s number one “sink” for carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is the ocean, which soaks up some 30 to 40 percent of all of the gas produced by human activities.

Recently, the possibility of removing carbon dioxide directly from ocean water has emerged as another promising possibility for mitigating CO2 emissions, one that could potentially someday even lead to overall net negative emissions [????]. ..."

From the abstract (notice the abstract does not mention any environmental concerns):

"In recent years, the ocean has come to be recognized as a global-scale reservoir for atmospheric CO2. The removal of CO2 from oceanwater is thus considered a compelling approach to reduce ambient CO2 concentrations, and potentially achieve net-negative emissions. As an effective means of oceanic CO2 capture, we report an asymmetric electrochemical system employing bismuth and silver electrodes that can capture and release chloride ions by Faradaic reactions upon application of appropriate cell voltages. The difference in reaction stoichiometry between the two electrodes enables an electrochemical system architecture for a chloride-mediated electrochemical pH swing, which can be leveraged for effective removal of CO2 from oceanwater without costly bipolar membranes. With two silver-bismuth systems operating in tandem in a cyclic process, one acidifying the ocean water, and the other regenerating the electrodes through alkalization of the treated stream, CO2 can be continuously removed from simulated oceanwater with a relatively low energy consumption of 122 kJ/mol, and high electron efficiency."

This is what the modern MIT campus looks like. Say say architecture can be inspirational (for what?)
