Eh, you can worry about global cooling as a hypothetical outcome -- for instance, there is a "snowball Earth" feedback loop with the albedo of ice sheets -- but from a geoengineering perspective releasing CO2 into the atmosphere isn't that hard, and we've still got more than half of the known oil in the world left.
We have a very well known set of processes to fix the issue of too few emissions, so I'd doubt that'd ever be a concern.

No, I'm just saying by the time emissions start coming back down, we might need to becareful how fast that happens from an ecological standpoint.
We can combine carbon capture with other solutions for example reforestation ?
I actually wonder if a time might come where global cooling (too quickly) could become an issue. I know that sounds crazy today but suppose we get very good at reducing emissions and CO2, maybe things will require time to adapt too a cooler world.
