I can't wait until they makes these no cost, low-maintenance, and self-replacing. Oh man, just think of how easy it would be to fix our climate issues!

The biggest carbon sink on the planet are oceans. We need to stop messing them up.
Too late.
The thing about oceans is they have massive amounts of inertia.
We're still surviving on the inertia from before we fucked them up, but we've already fucked them up, and some of the consequences of that won't be apparent until 50 or 100 years from now.
Same with fixing them. We won't see the effects (or the unintended side effects) of anything we do to fix them for decades, and even then they'll probably be unnoticeable under the effects of how much we fucked them up before trying to fix them.
Stopping is probably indeed the best option, hopefully we haven't damaged them enough that they won't fix themselves eventually... but that'll take hundreds or more probably thousands of years.
