    The point where things stop getting worse is the point where we’ve fully succeeded in getting off fossil fuels, ended deforestation, and phased out use of a few industrial gases and refrigerants. That’s something like the end stage of action, not the messy middle where we are now. If we succeed, we’ll get there in about 25 years.

      Even if we fully stopped emitting net CO2 today, the climate will continue warming in 25 years. All the methane and CO2 we’ve already emitted will continue to warm the climate.
