This latest report looks at mitigation — or what the world can do to stop pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Countries will also have to extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to keep global warming in check. Capturing carbon is a must. The IPCC said 1.5 degrees required hitting net-zero CO2 by 2050-2055.
