In its latest report, the IPCC said: «Net negative emissions can be achieved when more GHGs are sequestered than are released into the atmosphere (e.g., by using bio-energy in combination with carbon dioxide capture and storage).

Scientists also use the term «negative emissions» for such carbon removal solutions, as they work like carbon emission source run in reverse.

This # 9m scheme is looking at everything from how feasible negative emissions technologies will be, to what might happen if we try to use them, as well as the «moral hazard» of assuming such options will become available instead of cutting emissions faster now.

Above: Negative - emissions solutions can include use of natural systems (e.g., forest or other ecosystem restoration, agricultural soil carbon sequestration) and technological systems (e.g., bioenergy, direct air capture coupled with storage in long - lived materials or geologic formations, accelerated CO2 mineralization processes).

Most UN climate projections already anticipate that the world will develop and use «negative - emissions technologies» at some point in the future — that is, some technology that can scrub carbon from the air.

First, it provides a preliminary estimate of anticipated reductions in temperatures per 100 PgC CO2, providing a guide to policymakers who might contemplate more limited uses of negative emissions strategies than contemplated in this study.

Since the ESA forbids the Federal Government from funding any activities which might harm a listed species, why not sue to prevent the ridiculous Federal subsidies on Ethanol, on the grounds that the production, distribution, and use of ethanol have a net negative impact on carbon dioxide emissions when compared with petroleum products, thus accelerating global warming and further endangering the polar bears.

Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is a greenhouse gas mitigation technology which produces negative carbon dioxide emissions by combining biomass use with geologic carbon capture and storage.

Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) / Negative Emissions Technologies (NETs) approaches constitute existing and proposed technologies that would pull carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from the air, for long - term storage or beneficial use.

For negative emissions, it could include biofuels linked to CCS or biogas used to produce hydrogen with CCS.

In fact, under reasonable alternative assumptions, one of the models used to estimate the SCC provides a negative estimate of the SCC — implying that there are net benefits to global warming, which would argue for subsidizing, not taxing, CO2 emissions.

The point is that, to make the M2009 study equivalent to ours, negative land use emissions must be included in the 21st century equal to earlier positive land use emissions.

«Climate science» as it is used by warmists implies adherence to a set of beliefs: (1) Increasing greenhouse gas concentrations will warm the Earth's surface and atmosphere; (2) Human production of CO2 is producing significant increases in CO2 concentration; (3) The rate of rise of temperature in the 20th and 21st centuries is unprecedented compared to the rates of change of temperature in the previous two millennia and this can only be due to rising greenhouse gas concentrations; (4) The climate of the 19th century was ideal and may be taken as a standard to compare against any current climate; (5) global climate models, while still not perfect, are good enough to indicate that continued use of fossil fuels at projected rates in the 21st century will cause the CO2 concentration to rise to a high level by 2100 (possibly 700 to 900 ppm); (6) The global average temperature under this condition will rise more than 3 °C from the late 19th century ideal; (7) The negative impact on humanity of such a rise will be enormous; (8) The only alternative to such a disaster is to immediately and sharply reduce CO2 emissions (reducing emissions in 2050 by 80 % compared to today's rate) and continue further reductions after 2050; (9) Even with such draconian CO2 reductions, the CO2 concentration is likely to reach at least 450 to 500 ppm by 2100 resulting in significant damage to humanity; (10) Such reductions in CO2 emissions are technically feasible and economically affordable while providing adequate energy to a growing world population that is increasingly industrializing.

Sharp decreases in emissions in the short term could help nations avoid the use of costly negative emissions technologies.

Socially, the use of land for BECCS would restrict agriculture — contributing to substantial increases in food prices; while politically, the issue seems so toxic that the Paris Agreement carefully avoided mentioning negative emissions at all.

For this reason, negative emission techniques should be excluded from the mitigation scenarios used by the IPCC unless and until there is sufficient evidence to warrant their inclusion and then only on a scale that is demonstrably realistic.
