No (to the question in the title), this is someone trying to sell a magic solution. You do not need to fight climate change, we need to stop it. And the first thing that needs to stop is the greed of the superrich. Unless the seaweed gives a conscience to the superrich then no, seaweed cannot help.

How do you stop it? I don't think the greed of the super rich is per say the problem. Perhaps there needs to be a shift in economic incentive

Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."

Which would imply there's at least one tool that is either faster or less expensive, which would be good news, wouldn't it?
