For 1, that can be a problem for when we're done accelerating things. For 2, those aren't real options, given the externalities.

- concordDance 3y agoThe statement was literally untrue, merely stopping CO2 emissions is insufficient. Also, the viability of geoengineering is very much up for debate.
- tsimionescu 3y agoIf we stopped all emissions, global warming would be capped at a certain level - basically, at a certain level of CO2 in the atmosphere you have a certain world temperature. Warming doesn't continue endlessly just because there are greenhouse gases in the atmosphere - an equilibrium is reached, at a higher temperature than the previous equilibrium with less CO2.
