    Sadly I think you are right. We have to stop the warming or slow it down somehow. Considering we are never going to stop the wheels of civilization, people won’t stop driving, won’t stop eating meat, and otherwise won’t accept a decrease in their standard of living, it leaves us no alternatives.

    We either geoengineer our way out of this mess, or we die.

      We need to be careful and smart, but yeah, this is the only way out, better we start now.

      We can cut down on meat and gas cars too, the low-hanging fruit, but pretending we’re all somehow going back to hunting-gathering while sustaining our current population is some kind of delusional fantasy that only comes from drinking too much LSD.
