Net Zero CO2 Emissions: A Damaging And Totally Unnecessary Goal
by Roy W. Spencer, Ph.D. 24 hours ago in Green Energy, News Opinion Reading Time: 4 mins read
The goal of reaching “net zero” global anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide sounds overwhelmingly difficult. [emphasis, links added]
While humanity continues producing CO2 at increasing rates (with a temporary pause during COVID), how can we ever reach the point where these emissions start to fall, let alone reach zero by 2050 or 2060?
What isn’t being discussed (as far as I can tell) is the fact that atmospheric CO2 levels (which we will assume for the sake of discussion causes global warming) will start to fall even while humanity is producing lots of CO2.
Let me repeat that, in case you missed the point:
Atmospheric CO2 levels will start to fall even with modest reductions in anthropogenic CO2 emissions.
