Stopping anthropogenic climate change requires halting petroleum extraction and pumping carbon underground.
Current climate literature consistently shows that mitigating anthropogenic climate change involves both transitioning away from fossil fuels and utilizing carbon capture, storage, or removal techniques.
The provided literature strongly supports the claim that combating climate change requires phasing out fossil fuels and implementing carbon capture and storage/removal technologies. Multiple integrated assessment and energy-system models emphasize both strategies as integral components of net-zero pathways.
