This new discovery seems to offer a surprisingly good and quick way to reverse the effects of global warming with the easy absorption of CO2 particles. However, it also raises a possible dilemma. If we start using these rock formations to absorb CO2, which will reduce emissions currently in the air, do we run the risk of doing it too fast – faster than the system can adapt and thus producing global cooling? Hopefully, they consider this possibility before they start. It took many years to get where we are and I think the ecosystem has tried to adapt but has been unsuccessful. If we reverse it too quickly, will the ecosystem have time to adapt to the change?
