Is that enough? AFAIK all paths forward to avoid the worst outcomes includes becoming net negative ASAP.

That's stopping the addition of 37,000,000,000 tonnes of CO2 anually.

For context, a modern CCS captures some thousands of tonne, which is a comparatively tiny, tiny number.

Unless magic happens in the next decade, it appears that geoengineering is something we can't avoid, sans the suffering and death of billions.

I'd love to be wrong here.

With all its inherent uncertainties geoengineering has many chances to make living conditions even worse.

It appears that the best think we can do is to stop doing thinks. I concede magic will be needed to make boomers accept that.
