We'll definitely need carbon removal of some kind. As the article states, we could shut emissions off today, but still deal with the effects of the cumulative emissions for centuries to come. Unfortunately, there isn't a lot that I personally can do other than to perhaps invest in some of these technologies.
The most important thing for the climate right now that most of us can do anything about is for anyone with Democratic senators to call their senators and express to them how important it is that climate provisions in budget reconciliation aren't watered down.
Yes, I know the Democratic party is struggling to get its act together. But we have to make sure that come what may, the deal that gets struck is serious about addressing climate change. It may be a long while before the next time the US political system is even slightly in a state to develop meaningful climate policy.
