The notion being that nature or even the climate is balanced/stable ?
I think the focus should be on increasing resiliency not hoping everything is going to be alright "if we just undo this one thing".
Having said that I'm all for reverting CO2 emissions, just dislike this implicit notion that nature is harmonious by default and humans fucked it up - there's speculation about weather related disasters pre industrial era, so even very recently in human context. Or the disruptions we have with relatively minor volcanic activity. So many natural thing could screw us way worse than global warming and for the first time in history we're getting technologically advanced enough to protect against it.
