"The world’s focus is sharply fixed on achieving net-zero emissions, yet
surprisingly little thought has been given to what comes afterwards. In our new
paper, published today in
Nature Climate Change, we discuss
the big unknowns in a post net-zero world.
It’s vital that we understand the consequences of our choices when it comes to
greenhouse gas emissions and what comes next. The pathways we choose before and
after reaching global net-zero emissions might mean the difference between a
planet that remains habitable and one where many parts become inhospitable.
At the moment, human activities have a warming effect on the planet. But
achieving our climate policy goals would take humanity into the uncharted
territory of being able to
cool the planet.
Being able to cool the planet raises a number of questions. Principally, how
fast would we want the planet to cool, and what global average temperature
should we aim for?"
