Oh just wait. The second we can meaningfully reverse climate change, rich f*cks from around the world will protest to stop the reversal because it will impact their profits.
“But the Northwest passage will re-freeze!”
I am absolutely positive that will happen. Every step we have ever taken has led to changes that we and everything else on the planet then became dependent on, making it impossible to roll back.
Once we stabilize the concentration of GHGs, it doesn’t take long for planetary temperatures to stabilize (assuming we avoid runaway effects). Everything we do to pull GHGs out of the atmosphere will mean imposing a change to a climate that everyone and everything has adapted to or is adapting to. Declining GHGs will, in it’s own way, be just as destructive as the increase was.
