Isn't it unrealistic to assume that 150 years of emissions can be reverted? At this point it's more about slowing down the global warming rather than reverting

- barry-cotter 8y agoI doubt it will happen but there’s no technical reason we couldn’t reduce atmospheric CO2 to pre-industrial levels if it was a high enough priority. Terra preta sequesters carbon for centuries and we know how to manufacture it, it’s just soil enriched with powdered charcoal. Turn cellulose into charcoal, spread it on soil, repeat. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra_preta https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra_preta
