Guest post: Why CO2 removal is not equal and opposite to reducing emissions - Carbon Brief

An assumption that is commonly made when balancing a CO2 emission with a CO2 removal is that “one tonne in equals one tonne out” – that is, that the behaviour of the climate system in response to emissions and removals is “symmetrical”.

    in essence, it’s the difference between not shitting in the middle of your living room versus taking a series of megadumps there and then spending time and effort in cleaning and disinfecting it each time.

      Stop inviting people to your house who shit in your living room, and also clean it all up. Both.
