CO2 Storage under the Seabed Gets OK -- No One Responsible for Leaks and Monitoring
- "Storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) under the seabed will be allowed from 10 February 2007, under amendments to an international agreement [London Convention] governing the dumping of wastes at sea." - excerpt from this web page of the International Maritime Organization of the United Nations.
"We think the London Convention [amendment to allow CO2 dumping under the sea] has not taken objections seriously -- such as who will be responsible for leaks, who will oversee the storage, who will clean up." - quote from Greenpeace appearing in this Reuters article.
