Dear YOUR NAME,

I need some assistance looking through research about strategies for responding to

climate change.

I need to make a recommendation to the board of directors about whether we

should continue to focus on reducing CO2 emissions or whether we should invest in

technologies for removing CO₂ from the atmosphere instead. I'm looking for strong

articles that discuss this question.

I understand that Damian Carrington of The Guardian has written an article on this

topic, but I don't have time to read it. I'd like to know what Carrington says and

whether his argument is convincing.

Please summarize "Silver bullet' to suck CO₂ from air and halt climate change ruled

out", and then let me know if it is a good source of reliable information about this

question. I need your response by the end of the day.

Best,

Pat Paas
