Assuming we can make and dump dry ice / ice at scale through renewable energy, would it be a feasible / meaningful solution to even try, in order to extend time (not reduce temperature)?

Came across this interesting idea of storing ship emissions as dry ice at the bottom of the ocean. [1]https://fathom.world/co2-spears-decarbonise-ccs/

Absolutely not. Adding carbon dioxide to water creates carbonic acid, which dissolves shellfish shells and coral reefs.

In fact ocean acidification from dumping carbon dioxide in the air is already putting us at risk of losing most of our shellfish in the next few decades.
