I'm under the impression that the climate feedback loops have developed too much inertia for us to counter with a technical solution that could reduce or even reverse climate change at this point. Even if the world stopped emitting carbon tomorrow we're still going to coast past the IPCC's recommended limits and straight into the worst-case scenarios before the end of the century. While I still think it's a worthy cause to reduce and sequester carbon I think we shouldn't be thinking about how to reverse this. We're going to have to live in a world with reduced fresh-water supplies, a dwindling supply of usable soil, and migrant populations. That's going to require a radical shift in global politics and economics. I think a big part of our role as engineers will be helping society to adapt to these new conditions. How do we continue to deliver power to cooling systems during record-breaking heat-waves, build nuclear reactors that are safe against the new kinds of natural disasters we're encountering, manage housing and construction to reduce emissions and local heat, etc.
