You can actually capture CO2 from sea water thereby reducing ocean acidification and improving its capability to continue as our planets biggest CO2 sink.

there's also lots of water to wash then.

The problem is the same, the relative concentration of oxygen in air is less than 0.05% (~450pars per million). In water much less.

Well here's the thing - there's quite a lot of water out there too.

How long and how many terawatts of power do you think it'll take to suck a significant fraction of the earth's seawater through a capture facility?
