    1.8, yeah right. It’s going higher and they know it. It’s already in motion, and the feedback loops and our continued consumption are going to overwhelm aerobic life on earth.

    The quoted line is what the IPCC gave as their rational. A fancy “we’ll fix it later”. The final confirmation that they do whatever the economists tell them. Relying on magical technology that doesn’t exist yet and even goes against physics to undo the damage we continue to do, that sounds really rational.

    The first prize will be to stop pollution. Honestly I do not believe this will ever happen, my opinion and I may be wrong, I speak only for myself.

    So second prize for me would be to start stratospheric aerosol injection with additives to planes or whatever to at least cool the earth similarly to volcanic eruptions that block radiant sun heat.

      The second option is an inevitable one as we grasp for ways to cope with the increase. It will work to an extent, but the warming will continue. Resources will be used up in trying to maintain this shield, and when we fail to do that, the bounce in heating will be catastrophic.
