For exactly the reasons you describe, the low hanging fruit is (unfortunately) geoengineering. It is far easier to figure out the scientific engineering to increase the reflectivity of the earth’s atmosphere as safely as possible than to figure out the political engineering to make everyone willingly change their lifestyles dramatically and quickly enough to decarbonize at the rate the planet needs. No matter how you slice it, rapid decarbonization requires some reduction in our perceived quality of life, and that’s a politically intractable problem to surmount. The only other semi-feasible hanging fruit are technological — e.g. someone figures out a magic bullet for carbon capture, or the price of renewables and battery technology suddenly gets so cheap that the price of fossil fuel energy becomes extremely expensive by comparison.
