A few years ago I went to North Korea to write about the country's first, best, and only luxury ski resort, a story that made it into Best American Travel Writing.

I first stumbled upon this little rock through a post on @ourfragileearth (which you should all follow, by the way) and today it found its way into my hands. This is a puck of basalt infused with carbon dioxide that Climeworks, a Swiss company, has managed to pull out of the atmosphere and solidify, thereby taking an incredible step toward reducing the greenhouse gas. They’re even making synthetic jet fuel out of it.
