๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ’ฃThe strangest geoengineering idea yet?๐Ÿ’ฃ๐Ÿšจ

A new paper suggests detonating an absolutely gigantic nuclear bomb (1,600x bigger than Tsar Bomba) deep beneath the seabed to accelerate carbon removal (#CDR).

A thread on this bold climate proposal:๐Ÿงต1/11 Image 2/ Climate change is an existential threat, which is why some researchers explore extreme solutions. This one might be one of them.

The idea? Use a nuclear bomb to shatter massive amounts of basalt, speeding up Enhanced Rock Weathering (#ERW)โ€”a natural carbon capture process.

๐ŸšจPAPERโ€”The Arcticโ€™s frozen ground, permafrost, holds massive reserves of ancient carbon. As the planet warms, this carbon faces a dangerous release into the atm, accelerating climate change. Could solar geoengineering (#SRM) help save it? The answer is complex.

DETAILS๐Ÿงต 1/7 Image 2/7 Permafrost is warming faster than the global average, poised to unleash C stored for millennia. This creates a feedback loopโ€”warming leads to more C release, which leads to more warming. Simulations show SRM could limit global warming to 1.5ยฐC & slow permafrost thaw. But...
