That’s a simple fact.

I can’t see 350 ppm from up here, and we need to go lower than that.

CARBON DIOXIDE REMOVAL (CDR) refers to technologies, practices, and approaches that remove and durably store carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere. CDR is required to achieve global and national targets of net zero CO₂ and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. CDR cannot substitute for immediate and deep emissions reductions, but it is part of all modelled scenarios that limit global warming to 2°or lower by 2100. Implementation will require decisions regarding CDR methods, scale and timing of deployment, and how sustainability and feasibility constraints are managed.
