Not saying you’re wrong, but sequestering CO2 probably isn’t enough. Ecosystems are connected systems and can be resilient in the long term, but a domino can fall that has a huge, negative impact on everything downstream.

For example, coral reefs provide protection and a vibrant home for a lot of sea life. But when the water gets a couple degrees too warm, it can essentially die, and when it does, the rest of the ecosystem disappears too.

Imagine if you were a human and your body temp was even a couple degrees above normal. You’d have a fever.

And these are only tiny examples… life finds away, but it also needs time to grow back.
