minus-squareivanafterall@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up16·1 年前The faster the glaciers recede, the more rock flour we’ll have, and the quicker we’ll be able to fix the issue!
minus-squareGreyghoster@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 年前Do we know how much there is and how much we will need? Seems like a huge problem. Maybe electrify everything and transition the economy to low carbon is a safer bet.
minus-squareivanafterall@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 年前If all of the glaciers recede, we should have all of the rock flour. That should be enough?
minus-squareGreyghoster@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 年前It’s a big problem and I don’t know if the science behind this has been tested. Still, every little helps!
