There is a small probability that we are very wrong about climate sensivity and only in this case climate change is an existential risk. The reason for this is not in the climate science, but in the anthropic principle: if our climate is very fragile to the runaway global warming, we can’t observe it, as we find ourselves only on planets where it didn’t happen.
To fight runaway global warming we need different type of geo-engineering then for the ordinary climate management, as it should be able to provide quicker results for larger climate changes, and also require less research time and may be implemented unilaterally.
I call this type of geoengineering “plan C”. it could be something like artificial effect of nuclear winter, may be started by nuclear explosions in dormant volcanos.
