Apologies to Spaceballs “MegaMaid”- AnthonyNatural weathering processes are removing CO 2 from the air in a wide range of environments across continents and ocean. Until recently these ‘CO 2 vacuum cleaners’ were often studied separately, without properly examining their complex interactions. The efficiency of these CO 2 vacuum cleaners has varied substantially in the Earth’s past, which had researchers puzzled for over a century. Overview figure of the weathering continuum, in which processes from the highest mountain to the deep ocean play a role in removing CO2 from the air.
