Phys.org  October 9, 2024 An international team of researchers (Austria, Germany, France, UK, Switzerland, Australia, Norway) found that achieving declining global temperatures could limit long-term climate risks compared with a mere stabilization of global warming, including for sea-level rise and cryosphere changes. However, the possibility that global warming could be reversed many decades into the future might be of limited relevance for adaptation planning today. Temperature reversal could be undercut by strong Earth-system feedback resulting in high near-term and continuous long-term warming. To protect against high-risk outcomes, they identified the geophysical need for a preventive carbon dioxide removal capacity of […]
