Beschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Dissolving mineral dust in the ocean makes sea water more alkaline and able to absorb more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The mineral olivine is attractive because it would dissolve within a year or two while delivering near-instant carbon reductions. Mineral olivine is actually present below the Earths surface around the world. Some scientific research and findings have brought up evidence showing that there are 3 billion tonnes of olivine which would remove almost 10% of man-made carbon emissions from the atmosphere. This technique is scientifically named as geoengineering. Scientists have underlined that this geoengineering method could indeed reduce emissions but would require huge mining effort and alter balance of the oceans. It is also crucial to note that mining the oceans can change the biology of the oceans! Dissolving mineral dust in the ocean makes sea water more alkaline and able to absorb more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The mineral olivine is attractive because it would dissolve within a year or two while delivering near-instant carbon reductions.
