Well… yes, maybe we’ll figure out. But I hope you understand that’s a risky bet ? Climate change CAN be stopped rapidly. But it can’t be reversed (on centuries scale). So each catastrophe frequency increase, each heat record, each impact of the acidification of oceans that happen year after years is here to stay for centuries, at least.
I sincerely hope your CO2 pellets are for today, because if they are not, we will need another plan. And the only working one we have as of today is to stop burning fossil fuels.
