For global temperature
✅ If we're rapidly cutting emissions, temporary CDR can help reduce peak warming.
⚠️ If emissions stay high past 2100, it only delays the heat—not avoids it.

Given the warming contributions from CO2 and CH4 (in the figure you posted), we know that these are the most important to reduce. But all 1.5 to well-below 2C scenarios (C1, C2, C3) assessed in AR6 see declining CH4 emissions, largely because CH4 is co-emitted along CO2

Methane is on the rise from biogenic and fossil sources (see the figure below). If the fossil methane emissions were eliminated, the rate of methane emission would decline and so would the warming contribution of non-co2 emissions.
