Deep, fast cuts? Not a chance of happening. The epstein class will dance as the world burns to make themselves slightly more obscenely wealthy and the average person will be happy to assist rather than having to change their lifestyle slightly. They got theirs and fuck future generations, right?

If we couldn't get a critical mass of people on board a few decades ago when changes would have been easier to adjust to, how the hell can we get people to now?

    The bring it back is also incorrect. Once emission stop completely things still get worse for 20 years or so due to lag, then, assuming no new tipping points carry us further, things may stabilize. If tipping points are reached, then we keep sliding down the slippery slope until we either find a new stability node or there is no one left to care. 4°C, 6°C? We don't yet know, but I guarentee we'll find out.
