The article informs that Brantley et al. have studied the temperature dependence of silicate weathering, and its impact on Earth's climate. It mentions that the results showed that silicate weathering increased with temperature, with field rates increasing more than those from laboratory experiments, and highlights the complex interplay between temperature, minerals, and water in determining the rate of silicate weathering and its impact on the carbon cycle and Earth's climate.
