“Unpopular paths to leave the climate trap”
Handelsblatt
It is surprising how long it takes for the subject of “negative emission” to make its way from scientific models into climate policy mainstream, write Oliver Geden from the German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP) and Stefan Schäfer from the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS) in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. There is no debate on the urgent topic, even though ambitious climate targets are out of reach without technologies to take CO2 out of the atmosphere. “If we don’t want to give up on the temperature targets agreed in Paris, we must discuss unpopular technology options, and at least support researching them.”
