This will be the job of the IPCC Working Group III report currently due in March 2022 &#8211; too late for the Cop26 negotiations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In scenarios where we limit warming to 1.5-2 degrees, large net removals are shown after 2050. But the actual levels of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">residual emissions<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CDR offsetting<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> them are largely invisible to the reader.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This invisibility matters for two main reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, the lack of clarity conceals the huge technical and financial challenges that would be involved in delivering high levels of removals. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In turn this allows decision makers to continue to believe they can defer hard decisions for years or decades by assuming (enough) carbon dioxide removal will be developed to clean up the mess. It allows all sorts of polluters &#8211; from coal mines to airlines &#8211; to argue that their emissions can continue, as they will eventually be offset by CDR.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second problem is that the report does not consider what CDR would mean for social justice. How and where CDR is deployed matters immensely for how much removal techniques compete for land with food production, or whose renewable energy supplies are going to be diverted to carbon removal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2021\/10\/01\/uk-seeks-alliance-end-public-finance-coal-oil-gas-projects-overseas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>UK<\/strong> seeks alliance to end public finance for coal, oil and gas projects overseas<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another significant problem is with the basic assumption that underpins a lot of thinking about net-zero\u2014that \u201cone tonne of carbon in equals one tonne of carbon out.\u201d This is a false equivalence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, when removals by biological techniques &#8211; storing carbon in forests, soils, peat bogs or seagrass meadows &#8211; are used to offset emissions from fossil fuels, there is a multiple mismatch of timescales. It takes years &#8211; even decades &#8211; for these biological techniques to start removing and storing carbon in meaningful quantities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And in the face of already existing climate disruption like fires and floods, these offsetting techniques are becoming increasingly unreliable, risking the release of captured carbon much more quickly than from geological carbon stores.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These concerns strike at the very heart of the IPCC methodology \u2013 the focus on cumulative net emissions and the deployment of a carbon budget in which each unit of carbon is additional and exchangeable for any other unit of the same size.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Effective climate policy crucially depends on the differences between units of carbon. Which emissions can we cut with the least economic damage? Which forms of carbon removal have the most co-benefits for biodiversity or health?<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"mc_embed_signup\">\n<form id=\"mc-embedded-subscribe-form\" class=\"validate\" action=\"https:\/\/climatehomenews.us1.list-manage.com\/subscribe\/post?u=6316d25f7b68919349e54a251&amp;id=bf939f9418\" method=\"post\" name=\"mc-embedded-subscribe-form\" novalidate=\"\" target=\"_blank\">\n<div id=\"mc_embed_signup_scroll\">\n<blockquote><p><label for=\"mce-EMAIL\">Want climate news in your inbox?

But with the Working Group I\u2019s insistence on carbon equivalence and failure to properly address concerns about scalability, the IPCC could be creating fertile ground in which misunderstandings about CDR might take root, risking poor policy choices down the line.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the worst case scenario, the report gives cover to bad actors seeking to deliberately muddy the discussion on the scale and speed of emissions reductions required for a Paris-aligned world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Optimum policy measures look very different if carbon units have complex and multiple characters than if they are all fungible with one another. And promises of future carbon removal might deter or defer otherwise practical emissions reductions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both factors speak against carbon trading and offset markets, and in favour of regulation, mandates and targeted, specific support for selected forms of emissions cuts and carbon removal techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When our future depends on the sustainable removal capacity to repair the climate, the question of how much removals are needed to offset residual emissions becomes intensely political. But the IPCC\u2019s Working Group I report &#8211; vital in its content and timing ahead of the Glasgow Cop, doesn\u2019t ask this all-important question.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When policy makers meet at Cop26 in November, they must not make the same mistake. They should establish separate targets for emissions reduction and carbon removal. And critically, make sure that emissions are ultimately eliminated at the source.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Duncan McLaren is a professor at the Lancaster
