College buddy of mine has a family cottage in Falmouth. We spent a couple weekends there in college and the deck was right on the edge of a little cliff over a bay. Seeing your chart, I wondered how that place was doing 25 years later.

Looks like they spent a shitload of money putting huge rocks on the shore under it.

I hope those new "carbonate minerals" it forms aren't flammable or valuable, because somebody would be digging them up.

It will turn out to be too expensive a fix for most carbon production.
