I would be surprised if anyone on this list wouldn’t prefer emission reductions. While we’re fantasizing, why not prefer that we got emissions to zero 50 years ago? I prefer that! But whether or not there would be an overshoot (I call it a lag effect) if we immediately stopped putting GHGs into the atmosphere….we are clearly not doing that. So it’s sort of like saying, how many people would prefer having a high income without working? Most people probably would prefer it. I’m not sure it’s the right question.
