In short: Environmentalist Tim Flannery explores the potential of seaweed as a planetary-scale intervention against climate change. This talk examines how large-scale oceanic farming could serve as a primary tool for carbon sequestration.
The video explores the concept of using oceangoing seaweed farms to trap the carbon currently being emitted into the atmosphere. Flannery argues that these interventions are necessary to combat global warming on a massive scale.
