Even if we stopped emitting all CO2 tomorrow, we're still likely to see another half degree of warming. Maybe more. I can't imagine what that would do my home

Even if we stopped emitting all CO2 tomorrow, we're still likely to see another half degree of warming. Maybe more. I can't imagine what that would do my home in the western US. Or Greece, or Turkey, or any of the places around the world already experiencing catastrophic flooding.
There's no scenario where we reach net zero emissions in a decade. I'm not saying we should start geoengineering without further study. Only that at the present moment, from my perspective, it seems like the bigger risk is not to geoengineer.
