In order to reverse climate change we simply need to cease CO2 producing activities
That is likely too late to work as many feedback loops are likely to have already been triggered, or will be due to the eventual heating from the CO2 we already emitted.
Yeah there's definitely a ton of damage baked in. I guess by reverse, I really meant to say eventually stop. It'll take time for the temperature to stop rising even after we quit pouring CO2 into the atmosphere. But still, that is pretty much the only tool we have beyond something drastic like filling the upper atmosphere with light reflecting particulates.
