New research suggests that cutting greenhouse gas emissions won’t be enough to stay under the 1.5℃ threshold of the Paris climate agreement: We need to remove carbon from the atmosphere as well.
The technology to do this is still in its infancy, and there are political and legal barriers to widespread action. Nevertheless, to avoid catastrophic consequences, these are problems we need to deal with sooner rather than later.
