In 2020, my viewpoint that the GHG removal would be needed in the long run was a minority opinion. Most thought that simply ceasing the emission of GHG was sufficient. Now the consensus is strongly shifted to the viewpoint that GHG removal will be necessary, even among the most respected research institutions in the U.S.

“There is an urgent need to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere to ensure climate security and resilience. In 2022, the United States set a goal of developing carbon dioxide removal (CDR) pathways that will remove CO2 from the atmosphere and store it at the gigaton scale (at least a billion metric tons per year).” -roads2removal.org
