minus-square9point6@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year agoOh don’t get me wrong, we should be doing all that too. Unfortunately though, it will not be enough. As of the past year or so, all remaining models to avoid hitting a climate breaking point require carbon removal and we’re nowhere close to what is required (including natural capture methods). We need to be throwing everything at this problem starting yesterday. All possible approaches should be put into play.
