Primes¶
- Sequestration
- The trade-off space sequestration occupies is rarely benign—Caldeira and Wickett (2003) document one of the starkest examples by showing that proposed deep-ocean CO₂ injection (a sequestration option) would itself perturb seawater pH on millennial timescales, illustrating that even successful containment can impose ecological costs that must be balanced against atmospheric release.
This sourceModels how proposed deep-ocean CO₂ injection and atmospheric CO₂ uptake perturb seawater pH on millennial timescales, illustrating that even "successful" sequestration imposes ecological tensions that must be balanced against the alternative of atmospheric release.

The cited abstract backs ocean pH decline from atmospheric CO₂ absorbed by the sea over the next several centuries, but not deep-ocean CO₂ injection and not millennial timescales.
“Here we quantify the changes in ocean pH that may result from this continued release of CO 2 and compare these with pH changes estimated from geological and historical records. We find that oceanic absorption of CO 2 from fossil fuels may result in larger pH changes over the next several centuries than any inferred from the geological record of the past 300 million years”

Domain-specific¶
- Ocean Acidification
- The defining demonstration is Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett's 2003 modeling study in Nature ("Anthropogenic carbon and ocean pH"), the paper that coined the term "ocean acidification."

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 2 of 2 citations: 2 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
