Durability of carbon dioxide removal is critical for Paris climate goals by Cyril Brunner, Zeke Hausfather, Reto Knutti

“…We found that storage duration substantially affects whether net zero emissions achieve the desired temperature outcomes. With a typical 100-year storage duration, net zero CO2 emissions with 6 GtCO2 per year residual emissions result in an additional warming of 0.8 °C by 2500 compared to permanent storage, thus putting the internationally agreed temperature limits at risk. …”
