Detailed explanation-3: -Carbon neutrality will greatly slow down global warming and solve our energy crisis, with accompanying benefits to air quality, ecological recovery, and landscape beautification. It may, therefore, be regarded as an industrial revolution that would mark an important milestone in human development.

Detailed explanation-4: -To achieve net-zero emissions across the entire United States would require reducing net emissions by an average of 0.2 Gigatons of CO2-equivalent per year over the next 30 years.
