My take on the general idea of having for-profit companies involved in the field:
Letting Silicon Valley Geoengineer the Atmosphere Will End Badly
We already have plenty of evidence of what happens when things better left to governments — which in this case might decide to never flip the switch at all — are ceded to private industry.

How much carbon budget do we have left if we want to stay below 1.5˚C?
Just 2 more years at current rates. It is essentially impossible to avoid global temperature rise exceeding 1.5˚C.

Here's an awesome trick - measuring ocean acidity with sound. It's a bit of a gimmick since you really need to tune the instrument per site, but potentially may open a low-cost monitoring tool if developed further. 🧪🌊
