Relying too much on carbon dioxide removal is ‘likely inconsistent with international law,’ say researchers
CDR risks and climate outcomes. A given net-emissions pathway (and climate outcome) can result from gross emissions of different levels, balanced by corresponding dependence on different levels of CO2 removal (CDR). For a given climate outcome, greater dependence on CDR to balance larger gross emissions entails additional risks (top two panels). Delayed reductions in net
