>C.3. **All pathways** that **limit global warming to 1.5°C with limited or no overshoot** project the use of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) on the order of **100–1000 GtCO2** over the 21st century.
We don’t know if carbon capture can work at scale, and even if it does the costs are likely to be enormous. But it’s now absolutely essential. **On top of** huge reductions, starting *yesterday*.
I’m starting to lose hope. The government is doing little. Corporations that are going green are few and far between. And the general public can’t be bothered to do the bare minimum either (e.g. stop eating animal products).
Actually nothing and nothing will be done. We’ll just live with it (or not in many cases)
