伊莉斯·卡茨（Elise Cutts）: 炸掉这座山后会发生的怪事

炸掉这座山后会发生的怪事

泰德火山是世界上最大的活火山之一，也许有办法利用火山内部的玄武岩拯救人类。显然，摧毁一座古老的火山会造成灾难性的、不可预测的生态后果。但是，如果我们只采集一些玄武岩——它真的能阻止气候变化吗？伊莉斯·卡茨（Elise Cutts）探索了岩石风化增强的迷人科学。[导演：伊万娜-沃尔达（Ivana Volda），旁白：苏珊-齐默尔曼（Susan Zimmerman），音乐：斯蒂芬-拉罗莎（Stephen LaRosa）。

Harnessing the natural process of rock weathering could play a powerful role in fighting climate change. By crushing and spreading fast-weathering rocks like basalt across farmlands, scientists estimate we could lock away over 200 gigatons of carbon dioxide in 75 years. This method relies on Earth’s own chemistry, using rain and rock to transform carbon dioxide into stable forms trapped in the ocean for millennia. While the approach is practical and uses existing technology, scaling it to global levels brings formidable challenges and potential risks.
