It is astounding to me to have so much information on our globe and how it works and then to go to TikTok and see the flerfers (flat earthers) with a 1,000 people in a live.

Citation? Everything I've seen about algal blooms for carbon sequestration has flamed out on second order examination
This is a bit meta but does it need to have a citation? Can’t it be educated speculation that is yet to be explored?
Conjecture should be backed up with evidence or at least a good hypothetical (possibly several) at the very least.

#14They're the solution to climate change also. The center is infertile and can be seeded with fertilizer and algae that can then die off and sink to the bottom of the ocean.
This suffers from the same objections as all carbon sequestration "solutions" - why would anyone dump expensive fertilizer into the ocean? How would they haul it there without burning more fuel? How would they make the fertilizer?
Carbon sequestration is energy negative. The global population of Earth is hurling boulders off a cliff - hoping that a madman Sisyphus decides to lug them back up (to be hurled down again) is not a solution to anything.
