The revenge of captain obvious. There is no free lunch. (Yes I know this will come at the cost of some downvotes). In general, we are not only bad but hilariously bad as a species in thinking in 2nd and 3rd order effects. Next up: gigantic wind farms change weather. Further up: we need to reduce our energy consumption, or vent excess heat directly into space. Give it another 10 years or so. CO² is a relevant and dominant factor in global warming, but I'd bet a lot of money that it isn't the only one, just the dominant one we know of right now. By the way: the amount of surplus heating currently observed in the oceans exceeds the predicted amount by around two orders of magnitude. Too tired to provide (indirect) sources. At least this was my understanding by following the traces of for example this article¹. ¹ https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/jan/08/global-temperature-over-1-5-c-climate-change https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/jan/08/global-t...
