The assumption behind the NYTinteractive model that the upper bound for carbon
removal is 12 GT CO2 by2080 is too slow and small. We should think five times
as muchand five times as fast. Immediateaggressive investment to build
industrial algae factories at sea could removetwenty gigatons of carbon (50 GT
CO2) from the air per year by 2030, using 2%of the ocean surface, funded by use
of the produced algae. That would stabilise the climate and enableno change in
emission trajectories, a policy result that would satisfy both theneeds of the
climate and the traditional economy.Robert Tulip

FYI There is a slick interactive graphic at the NYTimes that lets people see if
they can meet the world’s carbon budget restriction but a combination of
reduced emissions AND achieving Carbon Removal.
At
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/08/29/opinion/climate-change-carbon-budget.html?action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=opinion-c-col-right-region®ion=opinion-c-col-right-region&WT.nav=opinion-c-col-right-region
I failed after clicking on Reduce in all geographic areas and Achieve in Carbon
Removal.
