Unlikely to be any unintended consequences to foresting the ocean, too. Plain sailing.
People really will pretend to believe any old nonsense rather than accept we have to cut fossil fuel use.

you can have that belief, that everyone should give up what oil gives us and live in a pre-modern way that most people would, today, consider poverty, because the alternative is (I assume you believe) extinction.
But you should be honest about it.
So if you think that i like the situation where everyone supports dictatorships like Azerbaijan by buying their oil, you are very wrong.
But what we want and what is going to happen is often very different. Cutting fossil fuel use will not happen until there are better alternatives. And at that point most likely there will be enough CO2 in atmosphere to trigger melting of permafrost which will produce its own CO2. So "these schemes" will be needed one way or another.
That said my main interest here is seasteading, and increasing ocean biomass. Reducing atmospheric CO2 is merely a curios side effect.
