FINALLY!!
It's the only solution we could possibly execute on, the longer we take to figure that out the worse it is for everyone.
Sadly I think you are right. We have to stop the warming or slow it down somehow. Considering we are never going to stop the wheels of civilization, people won't stop driving, won't stop eating meat, and otherwise won't accept a decrease in their standard of living, it leaves us no alternatives.
We either geoengineer our way out of this mess, or we die.
The climate crisis is not because of the wheels of civilisation or because that or this, it's because of capitalism. There are alternatives, but these alternatives hurt shareholders profits, so they are not discussed.
