Suppose a tub was best at two inches of water, got worse for every inch, and overflowed at four feet. And you had turned on the tap and there is now three feet of water. You propose: 1. Reducing the rate of the tap 2. Turning off the tap 3. Turning off the tap and removing water until it gets back to two inches Most people think of climate change prevention as #1. #3 is what actually gets you back to ideal. But if you get back to that level and then leave the tap off, things are fine and no active management is required.
