Carbon-free. That is the goal. Companies, countries are setting a goal of becoming carbon-free. Some are aiming at 2030. Others 2040. And others still 2050. But regardless of the date, the goal is the same. To become carbon-free. To not only reduce the amount of carbon being put into the atmosphere each year, but to get to zero.
But how we get to carbon-free is important, too. And that is where it gets tricky. The point is that carbon in the atmosphere doesn’t go away (or at least not very fast). While getting to carbon-free is important to minimize the effects of climate change, how much carbon we put into the atmosphere while we are getting to carbon-free is important, too.
