The Supreme Court curbed the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to broadly regulate carbon emissions from existing power plants, a major defeat for the Biden administration's attempts to slash emissions at a moment when scientists are sounding alarms about the accelerating pace of global warming.
It's not exactly ideal, but I suspect the global South will use aerosols to cool the planet down. The subsequent consequences of that are unknown. I wouldn't be surprised to see that, in turn, taken too far.
Current climate models almost always assume negative emissions. The best technology we currently posses to do that, is, like you said, planting trees. If all nations keep the promises they made in the Paris agreement, we still need to plant a forest the size of two to three times India to keep us below 1.5°C warming.
