Research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) suggests that carbon sequestering can reduce human generated CO2 up to 80 percent of 1990 levels by 2050 (Fairley, 2009). Fifty years ago, climate models accurately predicted that greenhouse gases cause global warming (Hausfather et al, 2020). (Welch, 2019).
