Climate Dreaming : Negative Emissions, Risk Transfer, and Irreversibility

Shue, Henry - 2017

The Integrated Assessment Models used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change rely heavily on negative emissions technologies [NETs] for scenarios that keep global temperature rise to 2° C or lower. One favoured NET is bio-energy combined with carbon capture and storage [BECCS]. It is...
