Additionally, even if we could remove carbon from the system scale, it's not like everything would magically reset to where it was. We are seeing changes (e.g. extinctions) that aren't really undoable. With that said, I'm sure that some of the damage can potentially be reversed, and the planet has some capacity to self-heal over long periods of time. Hopefully reducing emissions and even partial decarbonization will lead to a less bad outcome in the medium to long-term.
