#CDR has a range of distinct methods. #StateOfCDR Ed2, Fig 1.4 shows how CDR approaches differ in capture, readiness, mitigation, storage pool & timescales.
Some more mature today storing #carbon over short periods while others are early-stage having long storage timescales.

🔈 Let’s debunk common climate myths!
Myth #1 : “A couple of degrees of warming is not that big of a deal.”
Fact: Actually, small temperature rises can throw the world’s delicate ecosystems into disarray, with dire implications for humans and other living things.
