Letter: Spreading rock dust to save climate is a problem (2)

Published 5 March 2025

From Richard Black, Belchford, Lincolnshire, UK

I wonder if any change in reflectivity due to spreading crushed rock on farmland would only occur where there was no crop cover. And would the rock deplete carbon dioxide where crop seedlings grow, reducing viability?

I suspect this method would be only for areas with no plant cover.
