If you want to convince me Geoengineering is a bad idea, you must first convince me that AMOC collapse, permarfost thaw, wetland methane feedbacks, collapsing carbon sinks, Amazon dieback, Twaithes collapse etc. can be solved by emissions reductions alone.

If China's emissions had kept growing at previous levels emissions would like, what, maybe a full GIGATONNE higher....the area of avoided emissions here is like deleting the emissions of entire countries. This is happening at a scale that will very clearly have an effect in lessening disasters

Slowly I get mainstream:

"The world is closer than thought to a “point of no return” after which runaway global heating cannot be stopped, scientists have said"

Only the full potential of humanity will be able to stop it

So many feedback's now starting to operate

The ocean is the worst

Point of no return: a hellish ‘hothouse Earth’ getting closer, scientists say
Continued global heating could set irreversible course by triggering climate tipping points, but most people unaware

Only Africa? Truthfully, all climate science-policy has a serious AMOC blind spot. Not surprising: it's fairly new & seriously challenging. We're changing that with a top-level team supporting govts to govern wisely in unstable times. DM me if we can help yr govt

We all hoped climate interventions would never be necessary. But here we are. And so it’s woefully irresponsible when ppl still try to shut down conversations & research on crisis management when the risks are at a profound planetary scale. #preparedness
