In addition to drastic emissions reductions, some level of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is required to achieve net zero greenhouse emissions and potentially long-term temperature decline. Emerging research highlights the need for such a warming reversal to limit cryosphere risks for centuries to come. However, CDR strategies come with varying degrees of side-effects affecting multiple sectors. This panel discussion will highlight the various CDR methods and explore their potential and drawbacks. It will also establish the need for a preventive CDR capacity.

Even if "IF" big IF! the technology was to emerge through miraculous break through, theres still the behavioural problem of Jevons paradox! If the incentives {FFs still being more profitable & legal} then what will happen is CDR will happen AND FFs consumption will continue, even grow {if not for peak oil complications coming soon} & be wasted rather than used for transition gap closing.
