Writing in the “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,” a group of scientists from all over the world found that the resulting climate change from carbon dioxide emissions will be essentially irreversible for a thousand years or more, even after emissions are halted.

“We have to think about it [carbon dioxide] much more like nuclear waste than, like say, smog or acid rain,” explains one of the world’s top atmospheric scientists, Susan Solomon, Senior Scientist for the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. Solomon is leading the research team. She adds, “What we’re doing with carbon dioxide is forever.”
