Net Zero CO2 Emissions: A Damaging and Totally Unnecessary Goal

The message here is that CO2 emissions don’t have to be cut very much for atmospheric CO2 levels to reverse their climb, and start to fall. The reason is that nature removes CO2 in proportion to how much excess CO2 resides in the atmosphere, and that rate of removal can actually exceed our CO2 emissions with modest cuts in emissions.Re Posted From: Net Zero CO2 Emissions: A Damaging and Totally Unnecessary GoalWatts Up With That . . .
