There is enough GHG in the atmosphere right now to warm the earth to over 4c above preindustrial. That is not taking into account tipping points. We will be dealing with the effects of climate change forever. I don’t know what you envision avoiding the worst of it meaning, but even the best case miracle scenario is horrifying.
i’m not saying that under socialism, we’ll all be holding hands singing kumbaya and the seas will go back to where they were. i’m just saying that we can create a world where we can stop shitting carbon into the air
Totally agree with you that capitalism can’t.

I agree. China plans to stop by 2060. I’m saying even if we stopped right now we are going to deal with crisis after crisis.
