Okay, poll has ended, and most people got the first question right, despite the fact that nearly every discussion I see about net-zero policy gets it wrong.

The key point is whether you can count natural (i.e. non-anthropogenic) carbon sequestration as an offset in your net-zero goals. The IPCC definition rules this out, so no free ride: all anthropogenic emissions must be offset by anthropogenic removal. Except they define it just in terms of CO2 and ignore other greenhouse gases.
