Yep. The time when cutting emissions could have prevented wide-spread climate change suffering was probably in the 90s.

And here's my prediction for the future: Pretty soon a wealthy nation will decide it has no choice but to engage in global scale climate engineering. And it will do so still missing a shit-ton of those variables we aren't accounting for. At that point it's probably a coin flip as to whether it will make things better or worse.
