We all want a safe climate—one that humans have survived long term.
Yet, as more and more people are realizing, today’s climate goals will not get us there. Even if we reach net-zero by 2050, or stay “well under” 2°C of warming, our survival will still be in serious doubt. That’s because there’s already a trillion tons of CO2 in the atmosphere. This “legacy” CO2, emitted over the last 200 years, will continue to wreak havoc in our world—whether or not we decrease future emissions to near-zero.
What if there’s a way to remove the legacy CO2 and restore our children’s future? Over the past few decades, visionary scientists have developed and demonstrated astonishingly effective ways to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Permanently. On a massive scale. And in a way that can be financed without huge government outlays.
Peter Fiekowsky is an MIT-educated physicist and engineer, serial entrepreneur, philanthropist, social innovator, and author. A decade ago, when it became clear that global warming would endanger the future for all of us, Fiekowsky turned his energies to restoring a climate that will instead promote the flourishing of humanity as well as Earth’s current ecosystems. He launched the Foundation for Climate Restoration in 2017 to work with top scientists, innovators, policymakers, and others, to create the understanding and policy needed to further climate restoration, and served as its Board Chairman until 2020.
