The discussion will feature David J. Beerling (Director of the Leverhulme Centre for Climate Change Mitigation, University of Sheffield, UK) and Noah Planavsky (Assistant Professor of Earth & Planetary Sciences Yale University and Director, Lithos Carbon) as panelists and Metta Spencer and Ellen Judd as hosts.
Here’s nature’s way of removing carbon dioxide: It rains. The raindrops collect CO 2, creating “fizz water” then fall on rocks, forming compounds that flow to the sea, are absorbed into shellfish, then go to the bottom for a few million years.
If we pulverize the rocks and put the powder on soil, they can absorb far more CO2, plus substitute for fertilizer. Double benefit!
