Nature – Schaber et al. (2024): Prudent carbon dioxide removal strategies hedge against high climate sensitivity
Theresa Schaber, Tommi Ekholm, Joonas Merikanto, Antti-Ilari Partanen IN: Communications Earth & Environment 5, 285, https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-024-01456-x
Uncertainty in climate sensitivity has been shown to warrant early-on mitigation to limit global warming while anticipating future carbon dioxide removal creates mitigation deterrence. Here we use an integrated assessment model to quantify the impacts of under- or overestimating the cost and availability (feasibility) of carbon dioxide removal when limiting warming to 1.5 °C by 2100 under uncertain climate sensitivity.
