Deadly, record-breaking heatwaves ☀️🔥, which worsen in severity the longer it takes to reach net zero carbon emissions 🌍, will persist for 1,000 years ⏳, even under net zero. Heatwaves may even be exacerbated by long-term warming in the Southern Ocean 🌊 even after net zero is reached.

Prioritizing direct emissions reductions over carbon dioxide removal (CDR) to reach net-zero by 2050 would prevent 33,000 premature deaths annually in the U.S., a UW–Madison study shows. A low-CDR pathway maximizes air quality benefits and reduces pollution inequalities in low-income communities.

Residual emissions may perpetuate community-scale inequalities in US air pollution
Nature Climate Change - The scale of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) could determine the extent of co-emitted air pollutants in net-zero scenarios and potential health impacts. By linking a series of...
