Pathways to net-zero carbon emissions
Limiting global warming requires that net emissions of greenhouse gases ultimately be reduced to zero. It is becoming
increasing probable that “negative CO2 emissions” will be required to limit global warming to 20C. I will discuss this thesis,
various approaches to negative CO2 emissions, the scientific challenges associated with these approaches and offer a prognosis.
