4/ Or...

Oh dear we're going to overshoot, but don't worry we don't need to urgently stop burning fossil fuels we can... use geoengineering to cool the planet.

Scientists: We've taken another look & it's "likely to have serious adverse and unintended consequences"
High-tech plans to save polar ice will fail, new research finds
The plans could also unintentionally harm fragile polar ecosystems.

3/ Another example:

Oh dear we're going to overshoot, but don't worry we don't need to urgently stop burning fossil fuels we can... use CCS to store carbon underground.

Scientists: We've taken another look & the prudent storage capacity is "an order of magnitude less than commonly-cited figures"

Removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere is widely expected to play a key role in meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement.

2/ The pattern goes like this:

Oh dear we're going to overshoot, but don't worry we don't need to urgently stop burning fossil fuels we can... restore Natural Carbon Sinks.

Scientists: We've taken another look & "the potential for NCS related to ecosystem restoration is close to zero"
Limited carbon sequestration potential from global ecosystem restoration - Nature Geoscience
The maximum carbon sequestration potential from global terrestrial ecosystem restoration efforts until 2100 is 96.9 Gt, which is equivalent to 3.7–12.0% of anthropogenic emissions until then, accordin...
