Is it possible that cutting emissions in half would stop climate change (after some time)? There is a tolerable level of emissions. I vaguely remember that it's half what we're at.

No, look at the numbers in the IPCC reports. Cutting emissions in half is not enough.

We need to get to zero by 2050 then have interventions to sequester CO2 at a low level.
