Switching to regenerative farming, which cuts the demand for fertilizers, and sinks massive amounts of carbon into the soil as it regenerates it from plain old dirt, can take about 1/5 of our carbon out of the air on its own, while continuing to feed all of us.
Massively scaling up fission power, beefing up the grid, and finding ways to adapt to the cycles of power availability from solar and wind, could go a long way towards cutting our emissions. Especially if we can electrify all of rail transport.
The reason we're wasting so much time is that the 0.01% who own most of the world profit from the status quo, and don't want change. They are quite willing to burn this world for more money.
