Net Zero/Not Zero

Real Climate

With empirical data and more and better modeling, it has become clear that, to first approximation, the eventual anthropogenic warming from carbon dioxide is tied to the cumulative emissions. This figure is from the AR6 SPM: The relationship between cumulative carbon emissions and temperature (SPM AR6).

Future costs of emissions three times higher than assumed finds study

A Greener Life

The US puts a dollar figure on the damage caused by carbon emissions, but new research finds it’s too low, meaning the benefits of reducing emissions are being underestimated.
