Many leading companies internalize the externalities by putting a “shadow price” on carbon inside the business (some collect real money as a self-imposed tax).

To do that you need emissions into the atmosphere and absorption of greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere to be in balance (and if you want to lower temperatures back towards pre-industrial levels you need rates of absorption that are higher than rates of emissions so as to deliver net negative or 'beyond zero' emissions). It's that simple.
