Future “projections” of massive levels of carbon removal are nothing more than a fantasy.

And a reckless one at that.

Project Drawdown @projectdrawdown.bsky.social · 8h

Novel carbon removal, from Direct Air Capture to enhanced rock weathering, removes just 17 minutes’ worth of our annual emissions. Yet some future climate scenarios project a 15,000-fold increase, with no clear justification for how they arrived at those numbers.

Poster with a can opener and the text: "First, assume we have a can opener... That's how some climate scenarios treat carbon removal." The background is turquoise with cloud imagery.

Blue sky background with white clouds. The image contains text discussing climate scenarios projecting 10–30 billion tons of CO2 removed annually by 2100, noting a 15,000x increase from today without real evidence for achieving this. Title reads "Setting the Record Straight" with "Drawdown Insights" in a smaller font at the top.

$A graphic titled "Drawdown Insights" with text near the top on a turquoise background, stating the high costs of direct air capture for CO2 removal. The text mentions that removing just a fraction of global emissions would cost over $1 trillion annually. The image includes industrial structures with large pipes and a cloudy sky background.$ An infographic titled "Drawdown Insights" with the text: "Carbon removal today is more premise than promise. The best way to stop climate change is to stop emissions and protect natural carbon sinks." A small circular photo of Jonathan Foley, Ph.D., labeled as Executive Director of Project Drawdown, is included at the bottom. The background is a blue sky with clouds.

I was recently asked if we should replace the IPCC with something less flawed. My answer is that nothing else could inspire top scholars worldwide to volunteer years of their lives to produce a definitive source on the state of our climate, impacts, and solutions. We have to fund the IPCC.
