One of the key concerns raised in the study is the overconfidence in humanity’s ability to reverse the effects of exceeding critical climate targets. While technological innovations like carbon capture offer hope, the assumption that we can undo the damage caused by surpassing global temperature limits overlooks the uncertainties and limitations of these solutions. The window of opportunity to prevent catastrophic outcomes is rapidly closing, and the longer we delay action, the harder and more costly it will be to reverse the damage—if it’s even possible at all.
