Only if it is sequestered in the ocean. Carbon sequestration usually means storing the carbon dioxide underground in permanent water-and gas-tight reservoirs. This is a bold plan, but it has not yet been done successfully.

How does the high concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere affect Our environment?
For one, it contributes to Ocean acidification.
Is global warming have an impact on coral formation?
Yes, warmer temperatures and greater ocean acidification (carbonic acid from carbon dioxide) is bleaching and killing the coral reefs.
What is the main reason that the oceans are becoming more acidic?
Ocean acidification is caused from the ocean being forced to absorb vast amounts of fossil fuels and carbon. The carbon that is absorbed in turn causes the waters pH to go down, thus making it more acidic.Dissolving CO2 in seawater increases the concentration in the ocean, and thus decreases ocean pH.When CO2 dissolves, it reacts with water to form a balance of ihttp://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Ion and non-ionic chemical species: dissolved free carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, carbonate and bicarbonate.
How are oyster larvae affected by ocean acidification?
Oyster larvae are highly vulnerable to ocean acidification. The increased acidity of the water makes it harder for larvae to build their shells as it reduces the availability of calcium carbonate, a key building block. This can lead to slower growth and weakened shells, making the larvae more susceptible to predation and other stresses. Overall, ocean acidification poses a significant threat to oyster populations and the ecosystems they support.
Why might it be better to administer combination of oxygen and carbon dioxide rather than pure oxygen?
This invention relates to a method for the reduction of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by mode of combustion in boilers using a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide or, preferably, a mixture of oxygen and carbon dioxide as the combustion oxidant. This mode of combustion generates carbon flue gas that is easy to capture, concentrate, and via chemical or biological utilization or ocean or geologic sequestration. Carbon dioxide is believed to cause global warming. The invention also relates to the production of nitrogen from air as a chemical feedstock for the production of ammonia. invention relates to a method for the reduction of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by mode of combustion in boilers using a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide or, preferably, a mixture of oxygen and carbon dioxide as the combustion oxidant.

What is ocean acidification?
Ocean Acidification: The declining pH (increased acidification) of the oceans due to increased CO2 emissions globally.
What is marine bacteria role in carbon sequestration?
You may find the answer in the paper 'Microbial production of recalcitrant dissolved organic matter: long-term carbon storage in the global ocean'
Is pumping carbon into the ocean carbon sequestration?
No, carbon sequestration is a plan to capture carbon dioxide from fossil fuel power plants before it reaches the atmosphere, compress it and pump it underground into supposedly secure locations where it will remain forever and never escape. The owners of the fossil fuel power plants, who desperately want to continue burning coal, are particularly hopeful that this plan will work.
How does ocean acidification affect bottlenosed dolphins?
It is not certain what the effect ocean acidification has on dolphins, though it is suspected that it could lead to them being deafened. It could also lead to them having a shortage of food, as all marine life especially fish are effected by ocean acidification.

Why is ocean acidification happening?
Ocean acidification is happening because of the increased level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere resulting from the burning of fossil fuels. About half of the CO2 added to the atmosphere is absorbed by the ocean. While the chemistry of the ocean is complex the increased level of CO2 results in a lowering of the pH of the water. This in turn increases the rate at which calcium carbonate dissolves in sea water and constitutes a threat to organisms which produce shells such as corals.
What threatens the long term sustainability of the nearby coral reefs?
Ocean acidification
How do you stop ocean acidification?
crack open lots of eggs and throw them in the ocean. OR the more blood in the ocean, the less acidic it is :) youre welcome
