The Surprising Way We Can Cool the Planet
A TED-Ed lesson on 'rock weathering' — a slow natural process that pulls carbon dioxide out of the air. Learn how rain, rock, and the ocean team up to lock away CO₂, and how scientists hope to speed it up to fight climate change.
How it works
- Press play to start the video.
- Videos 5 minutes or longer pause once or twice for a quick check. Get it right and you're on your way. If not, you'll see a friendly explanation and the video simply keeps going. Short videos skip the checks.
- At the end there's a 3-question test. Score 60% or more to complete the lesson, and 80% or more to master it. You can always watch again and try for a higher score.
