In this Our Changing Climate climate change video essay, I look at whether seaweed and kelp farming can save the planet and curb emissions like its promoters say seaweed does. Seaweed farming has existed for centuries but it only recently has come into the spotlight in the imperial core for its potential to grow food and animal feed as well as suck thousands of tons of carbon dioxide and emissions out of the air. Seaweed farming could be an essential tool in mitigating emissions and drawing down millions of tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and back into the earth.
