Weathering
for climate
I read an article on Scientific
America related to prevention methods of global warming by pulling carbon from
the air. The article writer cited process of weathering for prevention of
global warming.
According to this weathering
process, farmers will spread silicate rock grains in soil. There would be some
heavy duty system involved to ground silicate rocks to mix with soil. As the
theory is mixing rock silicate grains will speed up the chemical process with
carbon dioxide in the air and produce phosphorus and potassium to increase the
growth of the plant.
But in my point of view, this
method of prevention will help firstly by absorbing carbon dioxide for a
chemical reaction. And secondly, the grown plants will increase the chances to
cool down the temperature of the earth. Though no idea of the dark part of this
prevention method despite the one I know is the cost of grinding silicate into
grains.
Further studies are awaited for the dark part
of chemical reactions of this technique. But up till now this seems to aid this
warming earth
