    Honestly the only hope I have is for a breakthrough in nuclear fusion as power generation coupled with carbon removal tech.

    If we manage to nail fusion then we would essentially have free energy which would do away the major limiting factor on carbon removal - specifically that it's an energy intensive process and the net effect is that carbon removal tech currently produces more carbon emissions than it can recoup.

    Obviously there are structural issues that would have to be addressed globally too but there's a slim chance that fusion is going to save us at the eleventh hour. Better than no chance, I guess.
