In addition to these opportunities, a range of ocean-based carbon removal approaches could help capture and store billions of tons of carbon. Importantly, these approaches would not increase oceanacidification. The ocean absorbs just under one-third of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, contributing to a rise in oceanacidification.
But it nevertheless delivers a very straightforward conclusion: achieving net zero emissions right across the planet as soon as possible and ideally before 2050 is the only pathway forward for humanity if the worst climate impacts are to be avoided.
Landmark IPCC report provides wave of stark warnings, but stresses that rapidly putting the global economy on course to net zero emissions by 2050 could hugely reduce the escalating impacts that will result from a warmer world. Some of these impacts are now thought to be irreversible within timespans stretching to thousands of years.
methane) from animal and land management and land-use change, which make the biggest warming contributions in the agricultural sector.”. These come from deforestation, changes in soil carbon, methane emissions, emissions from fertilisers, manure, farm machinery, and animal feed production.
These indicators, including but not limited to carbon dioxide, methane, oceanacidification, tropical forest loss, population, GDP, water use, and transportation, have reached the point past natural variation, showing indisputably that the Earth is in a different state than before. .

Taking immediate action to slash emissions towards net zero by 2050 could make a monumental difference to the level, frequency, and breadth of growing climate impacts, the scientists emphasise. If the world slashes carbon dioxide emissions now and reduces them to net zero by 2050 we would keep the global temperature rise close to 1.5
Current decarbonization efforts alone set the industry on a course to increase emissions ~10% from today’s levels by 2050. Despite fears about cost increases and low-sulfur fuel availability, the change was a success in terms of decreasing pollution that contributes to oceanacidification and harms the health of humans and marine life.
