This is a nice notion, but ignores the feedback cycles which have already been set in motion - at this point, reducing our emissions to zero may provide little benefit, as as the Arctic and Antarctic thaw, relict methane is being emitted at an alarming rate, wildfires are becoming far more frequent globally, and oceans are no longer functioning terribly well as carbon sinks, further pushing emissions.

I'm not saying we shouldn't try, but I fear we're already past the point of no return for catastrophic climate change.
