Using calcium carbonate to mitigate climate change
48:18 - 55:07 (06:48)
Researchers are exploring the use of finely-ground calcium carbonate to reflect or manipulate light in order to mitigate climate change. Additionally, scientists are studying the feasibility of extracting CO2 from the air and forming calcium carbonate over millions of years.

Episode#44 Solbere - A Scientific Solution to the Carbon Footprint
PodcastShawn Ryan Show
The guest discusses a potential solution to climate change involving grinding calcium carbonate into a fine powder and releasing it into the atmosphere to deflect or impact the way light is refracted in the atmosphere, which could have a cooling effect on the planet.
