If you wanted the paper to become part of the negotiations at COP29, publication should have been in March, ie before negotiation process starts in April (?).
Just mentioning it because "early access" might mean you wanted it to be noticed at COP29. But it won't. People need time to take it on board

The PDF on Nature has horrible formatting issues. You able to post a cleaner non-paywalled version somewhere?

Works for me in Chrome on Windows. Maybe try a different PDF viewer?

URL doesn't open a local PDF viewer, but a server ePDF version. My MacOS Vivaldi (Chrome-eq) has the same bug: completely unreadable. Safari won't even render the page.
Don't you have a web-shareable user folder at ETH where you put all your publications as PDF? Many researchers do #OpenScience

Australia has been doing this for years.

The Paris text prescribes it. Art.4: "balance between emissions and removals by sinks".
Nuts.
Forests only park our CO2, then they burn https://climatejustice.social/@anlomedad/113513285111447838
And stay in adaption mode🔥for 1000yrs after a stable new climate is reached, ie 1000yrs after NET undid temperature overshoot

Net Zero is a BAU market strategy,it is not enough! Facts and data speak volumes. As a result of insufficient action decades ago, many species are condemned to a death sentence.

The fun part is, that it is not a negotiations with nature.

It is a take or be taken situation. A zero sum game with no wiggle-room.

People are still thinking of the climate as a slightly befuddled but basically benign teacher who will let you off if the dog ate your homework. NO. Physics doesn’t care about your feelings. Fuck around and find out

Welcome to Australian climate politics. As we speak NSW Govt wants to use carbon credits from changed forest practices to ‘offset’ ongoing fossil emissions from fossil polluters. Aust Govt loves it. More coal/gas with 100% offsets here. Aust ‘net zero’ depends on it. Australia cheats. Call it out.
