minus-squareivanafterall@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up16·2 years agoThe 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-up4·2 years agoDo 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-up7·2 years agoIf all of the glaciers recede, we should have all of the rock flour. That should be enough?
minus-squareGreyghoster@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 years agoIt’s a big problem and I don’t know if the science behind this has been tested. Still, every little helps!
