Unless emissions plummet
Define "plummet." If by plummet we mean global GHG emissions decrease by about half from current levels, by 2030, then I don't see that happening. Not unless all the governments of the world are somehow taken over by climate activists. Or, maybe if there's a global economic collapse. Whatever it is, something radical would have to change for that to become even remotely possible.
Roughly 70% of factors that have contributed to climate change can't be mitigated in less than 300-500+ years. And all major metrics indicate we are doing worse at mitigating the damage on that last 30% each year. 2023 was a record year for greenhouse gas emissions. 2024 is shaping up to be similar if not worse.
