Would removing CO2 from the atmosphere to pre-industrial levels have an immediate or longer term effect on our climate if at all?

Question

Ive read that our carbon emissions have basically started a cascade effect that we can’t limit now. IS this right or wrong?

Answer 1

the truth is that nobody knows what would happen. the initial conditions now are different to what they were pre-industrial. it is reasonable to assume the earth would continue on a cooler path than otherwise would be the case. the timeframe for this, and the magnitude of the effect, are anyone’s guess.
