> at this point we already need cooling

A colossal volcanic eruption could do the trick, and those seem to happen rather unnervingly frequently.



Yeah it would be pretty silly for humanity to invest so much time and effort into lowering CO2 levels only for a Yellowstone or equivalent to erupt and send temperatures plummeting into a new ice age levels. When if humanity did nothing the eruption would only have taken us back to pre-industrial age temperatures.
