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

Even if we were able to remove CO2 from the atmosphere to pre-industrial levels, it would only slow down global warming and it wouldn’t have a immediate effect on our climate. Essentially, the earth’s climate responds in a slow and complex manner to changes in greenhouse gas concentrations. It would take time to adjust to the lower CO2.

TLDR; No, it would slow down global warming and the earth’s climate would have to adjust in a complex manner
