Report Finds Carbon Dioxide Removal Efforts Far Behind Schedule to Combat Climate Change

Frank Landymore
Summary
A new report reveals that carbon dioxide removal (CDR) efforts are falling far short of what's needed to combat climate change. The technology, which involves sucking CO2 out of the atmosphere, would need to scale up at a rate comparable to the adoption of solar panels to make a meaningful impact. Currently, CDR initiatives are barely making a dent in global warming, highlighting a significant gap between the promise of this climate intervention and its real-world implementation.

· 3 pulledThe idea of sucking CO2 out of the atmosphere to combat climate change might be a necessary intervention, but it always sounded like a longshot.
A new report published this week found that ongoing carbon dioxide removal (CDR) efforts are barely putting a dent in the fight against global warming
For them to start making an impact, they would need to be scaled up at a rate that rivals the adoption of solar panels.
