The book is a history of carbon dioxide's complicated and vital role in shaping life on Earth, told across many millions of years. It is only during the very last bit of that span when humans had the chance to start messing around with everything, and while we talked about that part, a lot of this first segment was spent with Drew and I asking Peter very basic questions about carbon dioxide, and him giving very interesting and detailed answers.

The Lost City is made up of towering spires of carbonate rock, formed by a unique geological reaction called serpentinization, where seawater interacts with mantle rock.
