1. We have heard the mantra that net-zero CO₂ is needed to get stable temperatures, but nearly all mitigation scenarios have negative net emissions. Why?This means that the temperature declines

Cumulative CO₂ emissions explain most future global warming, assuming sufficient action on non-CO₂.Distributing a remaining carbon budget of 500GtCO₂ with a linear decline (black) leads to net-zero ~2045.Depending on short-term
