Report finds says “negative emissions technologies” need to play a large role in mitigating climate change

Green Car Congress

OCTOBER 29, 2018

To achieve goals for climate and economic growth, “negative emissions technologies” (NETs) that remove and sequester carbon dioxide from the air will need to play a significant role in mitigating climate change, according to a new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.

Using this approach, they found that converting a fleet of cars from gasoline to CNG would result in decades of more rapid climate change because of greater radiative forcing in the early years after the conversion. Reductions in CH 4 leakage are needed to maximize the climate benefits of natural gas.

Maybe you missed their headline yesterday that read: Scientists: Pace of Climate Change Exceeds Estimates. With the body of evidence and facts available today, only the ignorant or the malevolent would attempt to mislead their readers so blatantly. They haven’t for a long time now.
