DownloadThe Canary Islands are home to Mount Teide,
one of the world’s largest active volcanoes.
Capable of spewing tens of millions of cubic meters of lava in a single eruption,
Teide’s destructive power is nothing to scoff at.
But there may be a way to use the basalt rock inside Teide to save humanity.
That’s right— blowing up this volcano could offset Earth’s emissions
for the foreseeable future.
Obviously, destroying an ancient volcano is not a good idea.
