The carbon cycle is key to understanding climate change

Oliver Morton

Human fossil fuel combustion has disrupted Earth's natural carbon equilibrium, accelerating the transition into the Anthropocene and trapping heat at unprecedented rates. While the "Growing Green" movement reflects public demand for reduction, current political and technological limitations, particularly regarding the scalability of negative emission schemes, prevent a rapid restoration of pre-industrial conditions. Ultimately, reversing this geological shift demands a fundamental transformation of the global economic structure, a process that will span centuries regardless of whether the transition is driven by policy or necessity.
