So much carbon dioxide has been emitted into the atmosphere that our previously agreed-on climate warming thresholds are virtually unattainable. While decarbonization is on the way, we can only expect, at best, that carbon dioxide emissions will decrease gradually. Direct air capture — the technological removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere — can be a solution to global warming if deployed quickly and responsibly. The emergent field of direct air capture needs you to make carbon removal on a global scale possible.
