It seems like we have passed the point where reducing CO2 emission will avert global warming. Given this reality, a potential path forward is a three pronged policy:

     A. Climate engineering to cool the planet in the short term [1]
     B. Deployment of nuclear to meet present growing energy needs [2]
     C. Accelerate investments in clean energy initiatives [3]

A & B are medium term solutions while C scales up over the next 50 years.

Climate engineering is pretty risky, and in the current stage, so small scale, by the time we are able to actually do something it will be too late. And relying on just investments and market also wont get us there fast enough. Nuclear is definitely part of the solution, but also much more targeted regulations that outright limit fossil fuels, and initiatives that reduce/ban cars, rewild massive swats of nature, massively scaling down overproduction of goods, and also pushing for reduced consumption in the global north.
