There isn’t. There won’t be. Fair warning, this is a cynical, but honest comment, and it’s not defeatist, but acceptance of our collective nature. I’ve roughly gauged most of our species moves on climate accurately so far. I bet that We are going to go full bore on geo engineering. It’s the perfect eco-poli-socio fix, and is a perfect storm to fill a lot of our mental blind spots. Geo engineering is jobs, and economic spending. It’s great PR, and it’s a BIG moonshot style project, so the optics are stupendous. Which politician wouldn’t like to say “we secured billions in funding for jobs protecting our environment, by creating factories that absorb carbon from the air” It doesn’t even have to work, for people to sell it. Create a military industrial complex style system with geo engineering at its root, and soon humanity will be performing biospheric surgery. There’s a specific vein of cynical realism, that acknowledges both humanities ingenuity and it’s emtrapment to its darker natures. We will stick to a carbon positive economy, because no one can turn around and tell the world “its over, the good days are gone, and now when we price environmental costs to everything, the markets will tank.” Too many goods are cheap because externalities aren’t priced in. A price rise in plastic costs will end product lines and packaging. This will push people to alternatives which are worse (paper takes more water than plastic, and decays causing eventual spoilage and replacement.)
