The term “climate positive” is challening in many ways. 

There is currently no globally accepted definition of the term itself. 

The term “climate neutral” is more widely used but does not have the same meaning.

Since earth´s atmosphere currently is overloaded with CO2 and we keep pushing it in at an alarming speed, the term “climate neutral” generally means that an action, a product or a process has neutral effect on the climate as a whole. 

Basically saying it does not add any CO2 to the biosphere.

Climate positive then means taking it further, recognizing what we have done too much and need to also reverse it. So this statement needs to include retracting CO2 from the biosphere, sucking it, locking it or digging it down.

The ocean is our biggest “CO2-storage. The oceans has tried to balance the emissions but humans have put too much in too quick. A big downside of the increasing volume of CO2 taken in by the ocean is also acidifiation. The PH-value goes up when you increase CO2, this kills of certain type of ocean living creatures in the bottom of the feedchain. 

A higher PH-value also kills corals, or “the lungs of the ocean”. First the lose their color and then they die and thereby stop adding oxygen to the ocean. There are many different numbers shared but it seems as if at least 50% of the worlds corals has died only the last 10 years.
