Scientists want to pump carbon into a hole at the bottom of the ocean in a $60 million pilot project to help stop climate change

• Scientists want $60 million to try trapping carbon dioxide in the sea floor off the coast of Canada.
• They say reactive basalt rock across the planet could turn CO2 into rock at the bottom of the ocean.
• Offshore carbon-capturing factories may help fight climate change in the future — for a steep price.

A major solution to the climate crisis may lie at the bottom of the ocean.
