First, after carbon dioxide emissions cease, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels begin to decrease, as they are absorbed by natural processes and sinks in the oceans and on land. That drop in costs means that decarbonizing our economy might not be a heavy burden for the public, and might even be economically beneficial.
