There's research showing that increasing CO2 ppm higher than 300-400 ppm range (some disagreement) doesn't increase heat retaining at all; atmosphere is already saturated for CO2 retaining heat.
If that's right there's two solutions: either destroy the world economy including overthrowing China CCP causing massive hardship and suffering worldwide, or geoengineering.
Yeah I'm gonna say geoengineering. Or do nothing and wait for technology to solve it for us.
I don't think any of that is a reasonable solution.
I think the reasonable solution is just living in a more adapted way to our current environment, and accepting that some cities shouldn't be sustained. You know, like what every other civilization has ever done.
The problem with doing nothing are Rumsfeld's "unknown unknowns".
Like if the north atlantic conveyor shuts down and/or methane calthrates are released then we're boned. These may happen quickly and irreversibly, we don't know.
We can't quantify the risk for doing nothing so we should probably avoid it if there are low-risk alternatives.

I have seen zero evidence that the Atlantic conveyor belts will shut down. I think that is a far-flung risk.
That's the point. If we could see it coming then we would fix it in time, whatever it is.
