Why negative CO2 emission technologies should not be classified

It is misleading to conflate negative emissions technologies that remove CO2 from the atmosphere with proposed geoengineering techniques, such as Solar Radiation Management (SRM), as they are fundamentally different. This conflation downplays the very high risks of geoengineering techniques and disr ...
