AI is in.
We don't have to be slaves to unregulated markets or the oligarchs they naturally breed.
Being out of the news and not having hordes of people trying to ride it's coat tails in a "look at me, I'm a do-gooder too" fashion and trying to push it in various directions for their own gain is the best thing that could happen to it. Let the tech be advanced in the background in an economically and politically sustainable manner even if slightly slower.
Are you talking about carbon credits? Electric cars have probably helped, even though there are trade offs. Solar has been a net positive.
The heroic efforts of early industrialists adding carbon to the atmosphere avoided this calamity and set us up with a level of comfy and productive climate unknown in the quaternary.
Amazing how humanity keeps lucking out like this.
Today's bloated world population, completely reliant on mass agriculture only made possible by stable climate patterns, isn't so lucky. A fact your cheeky, inch deep provocative comment entirely ignores.
That's because RuBisCO is a terrible enzyme that only barely works; photosynthesis works better the more CO2 you feed it. RuBisCO actually evolved in a higher-CO2 atmosphere and is optimized for that one, not ours. Terrestrial plants today are basically an alien species trying to adapt to a marginally (from their POV) frontier planet.
Now, you could argue that this climate model or that climate model increase net productivity once you take into account land use patterns, population shifts, blah blah blah. You can make these models say whatever you want them to say. Truth is, biomechanically, more CO2 means higher yields with same inputs on the same land, and we are very good at making land suitable for agriculture.
Stronger extremes will hurt crops too.
