So there is, again, it's sort of this cancellation between these two different effects, this thermal inertia effect and the CO2.

So it's a delicate balance between equal and opposite things that happens to be close to zero.

We don't know that it's exactly zero.

There's some uncertainty.

So some models suggest that they're

could be some additional warming.

And if that's the case, then we would actually have to take CO2 out of the atmosphere through artificial means.

And that gets us talking about, you know, geoengineering and other topics.

Carbon sequestration.

We can't get to zero, though, right?

Yeah, so if we get really close to zero, that's really what we're talking about.

You know, you hear about, well, you know, what about cement production?

What about transportation, you know, air travel?

Yeah, well, agriculture, there's CO2, there's methane, which is another greenhouse gas that we have to think about.

So all of that is true, but it's sort of, that's down in the single digits.

And so at some level, it's sort of absurd for us to be worrying about those single digits.

when we're not really even at the point where we're reducing carbon emissions.

We're sort of flat and they need to come down pretty dramatically.

So in the end, yes, there may be a role for carbon sequestration.

We may need to actually take carbon out of the atmosphere to prevent any
