But what is less clear is how this global warming will translate into increased weather extremes and how these extremes will then impact hugely complex human infrastructure, agricultural systems, and the economies they underpin. Such outcomes would trigger huge geo-political risks that could impact the entire global economy.

The reason it’s considered a solution is that plants suck up carbon from the air while they grow. When we turn them into fuels and burn them, no new carbon is added to the atmosphere —the whole cycle is considered “carbon neutral.” But critics say biofuels’ carbon-neutrality is a mirage. The case for negative emissions.
