    As I understood by now, the path governments want to go is an “overshoot path” where we “temporarily” cross targets and rely on carbon storage (both natural and artificial) to go back. Artificial carbon storage isn’t really here yet and natural is going.

    I wish I could still believe in humanity finding an answer to the climate crisis dilemma.

      I’m not familiar with this “overshoot path,” but whatever, what little the strategy of the world’s governments, it’s not a fraction of what’s needed.

      We are staring at a collapse that’s going to end modern civilization as we know it.

        It’s basically a pathway, where the world temporarily exceeds the 1.5 degree goal and kind of hopes on massive carbon capture technology, so that by 2100 the temperatures would go back to or below 1.5 degrees.

        No, I’m on one page with you, I don’t see that happen. I assume soon we’ll stop talk about the 1.5 goal but talk about the 2 degree goal is still feasible if we would do this and that. Then we’ll talk about “temporarily” overshooting 2 degrees.

        Then I don’t know. Maybe we’ll have a 3 degree goal or maybe we’ll be just busy with staying alive.
