ie, we only need to reduce our emissions by 48% to achieve net zero and we’ll need to increase emissions to sustain current concentrations thereafter.

Homeopathic medicine = the principles the IPCC's TCRE & RCB (homeopathic climatology) applied to medicine. TCRE & RCB are based on "CO2 memory." They hold that CO2's warming effect continues undimished even after its removal from the air. Homeopathic medicine is based on "water memory." It holds that the mere memory of a substance formerly dissolved in water causes the water to still have therapeutic effect, even after it's been diluted so much that there's not a single molecule of the therapeutic agent remaining in the water. Unfortunately, both branches of homeopathy are highly influential. King Charles has appointed a homeopath as head of the Royal Medical Household, and homeopathic climatology is the basis for the "net zero" campaign. The atmospheric CO2 level is currently rising because mankind is currently adding CO2 faster than nature is removing it. Mankind is adding CO2 to the atmosphere: currently 5.2 ±0.8 ppmv/year (mostly from fossil fuels). Nature is removing CO2 from the atmosphere: currently 2.7±0.9 ppmv/year (and that rate increases sharply as the CO2 level rises). Since 2.7 > 5.2, the amount of CO2 in the air is currently rising, at a measured rate of 2.5 ±0.1 ppmv/year. https://sealevel.info/co2.html Note the large and growing scale of natural CO2 removal processes! But the IPCC's TCRE & RCB, and the "net zero" campaign, assume that that doesn't matter. They claim that what matters is the total amount of CO2 which humans have ever produced, rather than the (much smaller) amount which remains in the air. If our CO2 emissions were merely reduced to less than the natural CO2 removal rate (not to zero!), the CO2 level in the atmosphere would be falling, rather than rising. So the (modest, benign) effect of elevated CO2 on temperatures would be decreasing. Yet the climate industry and IPCC insist that CO2 will continue to cause temperatures to rise until our emissions are reduced to zero. Homeopathy is not just the air guitar of medicine, it is also the air guitar of climatology. https://sealevel.info/AR6_WG1_TS3.2.1_TCRE_definition2.png
