I found this interview with former chief scientific advisor for climate change to the UK Government and Oxford professor Sir David King both timely and relevant to your point. He now works at the Centre of Climate Repair at Cambridge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLd4EqQywwQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLd4EqQywwQ

If anyone is interested in an antecedent to our current climate change situation, BBC's In Our Time did an excellent deep-dive into the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08hpmmf https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08hpmmf The kind of carbon ejection and correlated temperature change we're seeing today hasn't really been seen since the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum. That atmospheric event happened over the course of 50_000 years, we're looking to replicate it in a matter of 100s of years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleocene%E2%80%93Eocene_Thermal_Maximum#Comparison_with_today's_climate_change https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleocene%E2%80%93Eocene_Therm...
