Yet, it’s had the unintended consequence of ramping up near-term global warming. Unlike its carbon cousin, sulfur dioxide tends to cool the planet by creating aerosols that reflect sunlight while also making clouds brighter. Cutting carbon dioxide is, of course, critical. One of the most common comes from sulfur.

Ocean: increasing amounts of CO 2 ultimately dissolve in the oceans and forms carbonic acid by altering the ocean chemistry. The increased acidity reduces the number of available carbonate ions. 2009; Steffen, W., There are nine planetary boundaries identified. I invite you to join me there and share your thoughts.

Carbon capture and sequestration have often been considered technologies of last resort. As emissions keep rising and global carbon budgets decline, it is becoming increasingly apparent that if we are to stave off the worst of climate change we must deploy and scale these desperate remedies as quickly as possible. Welch, 2019).

There are plans for huge “SAF” refineries in Paraguay using soybeans as a feedstock and such fuels are permitted under the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) , which is the only internationally agreed policy and runs until 2035.

“Harmful Wastes” Shell’s knowledge of the risks posed by the build-up of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) from burning fossil fuels can be traced to at least the early 1960s. National Academy of Sciences that explicitly warned of the risks human-induced global warming could pose to earth’s weather and “ecological balances,” the U.S.

Unfortunately, all kinds of positive (or negative?) This could lead to yet another negative feedback loop that could wreak havoc on the Arctic, drastically increasing the melting of not just sea ice but also Greenland's ice-sheets. Sea Ice extent is going down. feedback loops will cause this melting to possibly accelerate.

And yet: Last year, the global average temperature was almost 1.5 degrees Celsius warmer than the pre-industrial average, due to the vast amounts of heat-trapping carbon dioxide that humans have added to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels. How would disputes about the negative impacts of any geoengineering regime be adjudicated?
