Delusional, just insane.
Technology will not save us, but guillotines will.

Global warming is nothing but a math equation at the end of the day. Change the input value, change the result.
The real problem is what you do with all the snakes after they eat the mice.
Earth isnt a machine, we cant just fix it like a broken machine. Earth is a body with a fever due to CO2 intoxication. We need to let Earth lash itself back into wellbeing, without our invasive engripments.
It's a bit more than a math equation; things like how much ice there is are meaningfully path dependent. Just dropping CO2 concentrations won't get us back the world we had.
That's just another part of the equation.
