Except that it appears to be gradual at the moment doesn't it? It didn't just get hotter one day. Now there may be a threshold that we're approaching which, once crossed, would trigger something drastic (and that's an argument that's made-obviously, and also that we've already crossed it) Slowing the climb towards that threshhold, or further past it, is a reasonable and achievable solution, whereas stalling completely is not, at least at present -no matter how much we throw at it. There's nothing wrong with buying time. rgr?
Buy time, plan a more sustainable future, phase out the big hitters as we can, as solutions arise. Remediate. Above all, deal with the consequences of our actions in a level headed manner.
(I had to add the last bit, can't have an ACC discussion without population control rearing it's ugly head-forgive me for suggesting that it will be more practical to solve infrastructure problems than to prevent people from fucking)

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
