To avert catastrophic warming, the global community must rapidly reduce how much of these fuels it extracts and burns. Our new paper , published in Nature, revealed just how tight the world’s remaining carbon budget is likely to be. Our analysis showed that total fossil fuel production is limited by a global carbon budget.

The reason it’s considered a solution is that plants suck up carbon from the air while they grow.
