Superlatively, humans have the capacity to instantly stop global warming by causing a nuclear winter. We already have the capability of kicking up enough dust that surface temperatures drop a dangerous amount. We shouldn't do this, but humans can certainly do things much faster than "leave the earth alone for 50k years"

We already have the capability of kicking up enough dust that surface temperatures drop a dangerous amount. Who's talking about global warming? This is about atmospheric CO2 concentration. It is related, yes, but reality isn't a single variable problem. Stop global warming using a nuclear winter? Sure, that's a solution. And kill everything on the planet in the process. Brilliant.
