I’m not even sure that’s enough. Some tipping points are already reached and the CO2 that’s already in the atmosphere won’t magically disappear because we don’t add more.
Keep that in mind when you hear that the emission is still rising exponential
Yeah, we not only have to reach net-0, which is a pipe dream with the current leadership / collective will, but we’ll need to figure out some method of carbon capture that can actually be net-negative AND deploy it on scales far beyond any sort of “carbon capture” that has been planned, whether their number were sane or just hype to get some of the “pork barrel spending”.
I suggest making sure you have an “exit plan” for when it get worse than you’d like, which I expect to be in my lifetime. There are more violent, revolutionary, or both approaches, but I won’t mention them explicitly.
Even if we replaced all energy production “magically” with solar/wind/tidal, we’ll still have to keep extracting oil to make plastic!
