Understanding the cooling effect (CE) of CDR and its primary controlling factors has been challenging due to the limited number of models conducting the CDR simulation. To address this, the authors employed an energy balance model (EBM), which effectively captures or reproduces the global mean surface air temperature change to CO2 forcing.
