burning seaweed? who'd of thunk...

Every bit of the CO2 scavenged photosynthetically by the seaweed will be released again if it is burned.

One of those stories that tells half the story, because the second half cancels it.

The plant "keeps" the C and releases the O2. When burned, the O2 is re-combined with the C that is used as fuels (oils, etc) . There would be a slight improvement in CO2 levels, as not all the C that goes into the plants' structure would be turned into fuel...........
