The Carbon Brief does a great job of aggregating these responses, which reveal both positive and negative signs for future discourse on carbon dioxide removal («CDR»)-- i.e. removing and sequestering excess carbon from the atmosphere and oceans.

The fact that the planet can not clean the atmosphere of excess carbon dioxide emissions quickly has significant implications for our fight against climate change.

Specimens of elkhorn coral living in water with excess carbon dioxide have been studied for fertilization rates, ability of larvae to settle on reef substrate (where they produce new corals), and subsequent growth and survival.3 Three levels of carbon dioxide were tested, corresponding to concentrations today, at mid-century, and at the end of the century on a high - emissions path.3, 5 At the mid-century concentration, the ability of fertilization to occur and for larvae to settle successfully on the reef was significantly reduced: around 52 percent, and the decline intensified to about 73 percent at the late - century concentration.3 The corals» ability to survive over the long run declined as well, by an average of 39 percent and 50 percent respectively.3, 4

At present, the government's accounts offset excess fossil emissions by claiming credit for carbon sequestered in crop forests.

Buildings operate like trees; they sequester carbon, make oxygen, distill water, provide habitat for thousands of species, and convert solar income into all the thermal and electrical energy they need — and sell excess power to the neighbors.

Additionally, such facilities could potentially be connected to wind and solar electricity production and be used for energy grid load balancing applications (using excess renewable energy that the grid can not handle), making renewable energy generation carbon negative.

This is for a variety of reasons, not limited to; a banked excess, borrowing from forward allocations, reduced emissions, leakage list inclusion, CER switching or simply because carbon prices are very low, by historical measures.
