At these depths, scientists believe that the carbon dioxide (CO2) would be compressed into a slush that would settle on the sea bed. The environmental organisation Greenpeace and others are concerned that the CO2 could dissolve in the seawater, damaging larger marine life.  <\/p>\n<p>Broecker acknowledges that smaller marine life on the seabed under the storage will be destroyed. However, he argues that unless experiments are carried out, there is a danger that &ldquo;deep-sea disposal will commence without adequate testing and evaluation&quot;. <\/p>\n<p>According to Broecker, an amount of carbon dioxide equivalent to the carbon pollution from about 16 years of the world&rsquo;s current fossil fuel use could be stored safely in the deep waters of the Pacific.
