Yes… unexpected. Surely we couldn’t predict that people would lie about their climate progress!
Just pack it up and ship it off the earth
Better to make stuff with it. Like diamonds, graphene, or carbon nanotubes.
If only we could use massive floating solar arrays anchored over the Mariana Trench, and use that power to create carbon fibre from atmospheric CO2. Some could be used in industry, but let’s scale that up until we are creating solid spheres of carbon 1-2m in diameter and dropping those into that subduction trench. It will take some time, but most ought to be pulled down into the crust via subduction, and return carbon to the mantle where it ought to be locked away for several hundred million years.
Keep doing that until we have gotten things back down to under 200ppm.
We are fucked guys … details unessesary
The world will get warmer and the weather crazier, but there are still upsides to intelligent predictions and coordinated response. You should prepare for the worst, but the not-worst also requires preparation.
There will be no coordinated response. There will be very little if any preparation.
If COVID taught us anything, it’s that humanity is unable to deal with matters of this scale. Anyone relying on the worlds governments to save them, are in for a rude awakening.
Ok, but you don’t get to act disappointed if you never had any expectations.
