美國國家大氣研究中心(National Center for Atmospheric Research, NCAR)的氣候學家凱文‧崔伯斯(Kevin Trenberth)則說,漢森的研究能讓一般大眾了解全球暖化的趨勢,以及人類活動在大氣系統中扮演的角色。崔伯斯憂心,會有人會對此研究做出錯誤的結論,也就是「人類並未造成任何影響。」他認為,「極端氣溫絕對不會只是由人類所造成,也不會只因為是自然的差異所導致。」(本文由國科會補助「新媒體科普傳播實作計畫─重大天然災害之防救災科普知識教育推廣」執行團隊撰稿)
近年全球對於氣候變遷的關注日益增加,各國紛紛宣布淨零排放(Net Zero Emissions)的目標,聯手應對氣候變遷所帶來的挑戰。淨零排放是指將全球人為排放的溫室氣體量和人為移除的量相抵銷後為零。而「碳捕存再利用技術(Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage,簡稱 CCUS)」技術被視為達成淨零重要的措施之一。
