Carbon dioxide hits a new high, but geo-engineering won’t help

I find it hard to read past a sentence when it is fundamentally flawed: the
word 'instead' should read 'as well as'!
'Instead of reducing carbon emissions, let’s tinker'
How frustrating!

Exactly.
People seem to have already forgotten the following ...

limiting the warming will become impossible without severe economic disruption.

Dear Emily,
IPCC has used standard definitions of these terms for decades. They are
jargon, but the community accepts these definitions, rather than a
broader dictionary definition. Mitigation means reducing emissions that
cause global warming.

Good point.
It is also true that at 400 ppm the global temperature has not increased by
several degrees as it did way back (temperature units not given) yet 3-5
million years ago the same concentration presumably produced a much larger
temperature increase if the units are Celsius.

Shucks. I agree with you about the SRM form of geo not being mitigation.
But I was hoping that this list might agree that the mitigation term reducing
could/should be interpreted broadly enough to include removing.
The reason to not do so is what?

This has been my way of thinking about this as well. And this way the
options for the future continue to be a combination of mitigation,
adaptation, and suffering, with the last likely to become more and more
evident, given the slow pace of (and vested interest opposition to)
mitigation and the
