The key thing here is that the less overshoot the better, and the amount of overshoot we can afford is small.
Its sorta duh. Most of the doomers were just about reality but only idiots take the give up path. Every year for the rest of your life and if you have them childrens or other relatives lives will be worse the less we try. Not to mention much of what we can do is part of making a new normal that deals with it better so its sorta a double return. Im talking insulation, thermal mass, geothermal, solar, wind, etc. Its not just about green its about comfort in the short term to.
