IPCC-aligned climate pathways assume an average of 6 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide removed per year by 2050, rising to 13 gigatonnes per year by 2100. Current intentional removal, excluding forestry, stands at roughly 2 megatonnes per year, mainly from biochar. Commenters are highlighting the enormous gap between what climate models rely on and what existing carbon removal technology actually delivers.
