Comment Comment by pier25 Doing a little math...Considering 1100 Gtons in the atmosphere and $200 per ton would be roughly $220 trillions.The current world's GDP is $78 trillions.Even if the world invested $10 trillions every year it would still take 20 years to remove all the carbon emitted between 1850 and today.Of course we would keep pumping about 37 Gtons per year (and growing).https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-global-co2-emissions-se... parent pier25 8 years ago
Considering 1100 Gtons in the atmosphere and $200 per ton would be roughly $220 trillions.
The current world's GDP is $78 trillions.
Even if the world invested $10 trillions every year it would still take 20 years to remove all the carbon emitted between 1850 and today.
Of course we would keep pumping about 37 Gtons per year (and growing).
