Forests naturally remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Olivine, a mineral present in igneous rocks, is also capable of extracting this greenhouse gas. The downside is that the process is slow, which means it cannot keep up with the rate at which we’re pumping CO2 into the atmosphere. So, could we accelerate this natural process? And what are the potential side-effects of this action? Find out in this episode of Explained!
