Chemical weathering of rocks can delay climate warming and even make the climate cool, right?
"Chemical weathering of rocks will absorb carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The absorbed carbon dioxide is transported to the ocean in the form of chemical runoff, and marine organisms absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis, fix it and deposit it on the seabed. When the weathering of rocks is strengthened, the absorbed atmospheric carbon dioxide increases. When the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere by the ocean can't compensate for the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed from the atmosphere by rock weathering, the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere will decrease. Due to the weakening of the greenhouse effect, it will slow down climate warming and even lead to climate cooling. "

It can be seen from the article that chemical weathering of rocks has the potential to meet the conditions, but the net increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere far exceeds the consumption of rock weathering. Therefore, it is unrealistic to expect the weathering of rocks to achieve the goal. It is possible under the ideal conditions mentioned in the above paper, but human society must stop emitting greenhouse gases and achieve a balance between greenhouse gas emissions and land consumption.
