IPCC carbon removal projections face scathing criticism as unrealistic

Critics warn IPCC projections enable "predatory delay" on emissions cuts

The analysis argues that treating speculative future carbon removal as a reliable climate solution creates dangerous incentives to postpone definitive emissions reductions. The piece characterizes the IPCC's approach as "bedtime stories about the future, complete with fictional numbers" that distract from proven climate actions.

“Magical thinking about massive levels of carbon removal can fuel a kind of 'predatory delay,' where the promise of future technologies (which typically never arrive) is favored over definitive action today.”
