We have the solution, and not just for the warming, but for most symptoms of the overshoot, we just don't like it. Climate change, resource depletion, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, pollution, overpopulation, soil erosion, and overfishing are all symptoms of ecological overshoot. If we'd stopped fossil fuels ASAP, reformed agriculture and switched globally to plant based diets, we'd free up 80% of agricultural lands we use for animal agriculture. That's the area a size of Africa. Reforest/rewild it (cca 3+ trillion trees) and we'd store enough carbon to return CO2 to pre-industrial levels and enable biodiversity to return to previous levels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_overshoot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_overshoot https://www.researchgate.net/publication/320356605_Agriculture_production_as_a_major_driver_of_the_Earth_system_exceeding_planetary_boundaries https://www.researchgate.net/publication/320356605_Agricultu...
