Cutting our emissions isn’t enough, we’ll need geoengineering

We actually have to stop all of our emissions before we push the climate system over the edge, and we don’t even know precisely where the edge is. Every bit of emissions we can cut now gives us a little more time before we reach the edge. So the crisis almost certainly will arrive, and then we will finally be willing to make radical changes. What we will desperately need at that point is more time. That’s why we will need geoengineering.
