Climate Change – Why CO2 removal is not equal and opposite to reducing emissions (Kirsten Zickfeld, WEF)

  • In recent years, countries, companies and institutions around the world have set “net-zero” emissions targets and called for carbon removal.
  • Emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases can be challenging and very costly to remove.
  • A new study has found that balancing a CO2 emission with a CO2 removal could lead to a different climate outcome than avoiding the CO2 emission.
  • Author of the study, professor of climate science Kirsten Zickfeld, explains why carbon dioxide removal is not equal, and opposite to reducing CO2 emissions.
