What do we do then? In the era of "overshoot", schemes abound for turning down the heat – not now, but a few decades down the road. Were being told that we can return to liveable temperatures, by means of technologies for removing CO2 from the air or blocking incoming sunlight. If they even exist, such technologies are not safe: they come with immense uncertainties and risks. Worse, like magical promises of future redemption, they might provide reasons for continuing to emit in the present. But do they also hold some potentials?In Overshoot: Climate Politics When Its Too Late, two leading climate scholars subject the plans for saving the planet after its been wrecked to critical study. Carbon dioxide removal is already having effects, as an excuse for continuing business-as-usual, while geoengineering promises to bail out humanity if the heat reaches critical levels.
