First off. I know what net zero means. So I do not need that explaining.
What I'm trying to find out and have been unsuccessful so far is:
What is the absolute CO2 output of the globe in tonnes of CO2 (or whatever unit) required to be balanced by the earths absorbtion of CO2. In other words what exatly is the "net zero" CO2 output requirement.
I can find plenty of site explaining what net zero means as a concept, even sites saying we need to reduce to net zero output by 2050 to avoid the worst consequences, but what I can't find anywhere is:
Exactly what level of CO2 ouput, in absolute terms, do humans have to reduce their CO2 output to, in order to reach net zero.
Can somebody provide a link to an authoratative site (i.e. not a newspaper or green lobby etc site, I want a science paper), which states the absolute level of CO2 output required to attain net zero. Please, thank you very much
