In the new book, Climate Code Red: The Case For Emergency Action, Authors David Spratt and Philip Sutton argue that, in order to return to a 'safe climate', not only must we reduce carbon emissions 100% as quickly as possible by declaring an urgent global state of emergency in order to get beyond the suicidal denial of 'business as usual' (Read: The Perils Of Playing Nice), we must also figure out a way to remove excess carbon from the atmosphere.
