But the world doesn't end when we hit 1.5. We'll still be here, and we can still shape how much things change.

But the world doesn't end when we hit 1.5. We'll still be here, and we can still shape how much things change.
- ForHackernews 8y ago> we can still shape how much things change. No we can't, because most of the CO2 has already been emitted: https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-four-years-left-one-point-five-carbon-budget https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-four-years-left-one-poi... Unless you invent a time machine, or as postulated by OP, some magic sequestration technology to pull CO2 out of the atmosphere and put it back in the ground, it's too late. It's like we're in a car that's driven over a cliff, and you're saying "Well, we're still here, as long as we invent a way for this car to fly in the next 15 seconds before impact, then we'll be okay"
