Nature is a paywalled journal and I'm not going to spend money to be proven right when the headline says it all: Climate experts are divided over whether CDR is a necessary requirement or a dangerous distraction from limiting emissions.
Why do you think that division exists? Because scientists can be bought out by industry interests. One side understands the problem and the other side is saying whatever's needed to get a paycheck.
We're past honey or vinegar. The only honey in this situation is to ignore the problems and keep living our normal comfortable lives until everything irrecoverably falls apart around us.
If you've chosen honey you've chosen extinction.
Omg you. "I'm not going to read it and the scientists that disagree with me are bought and paid for."
If you have access to the journal then share the information that supports the case you're trying to make.
If you don't have access and won't share anything that actually supports your case then you're just talking out of your ass and deflecting.
