Hopium or just plain hope?

This article quite pointedly does not frame geothermal wells as a solution to climate change or a way to save us all, stating that:

...it is not an excuse to avoid emissions cuts. Decarbonisation – society’s shift away from fossil fuels – remains essential, and we’re not doing it fast enough.
Atmospheric CO₂ removal – basically, negative emissions – can buy us time to decarbonise by walking back some of the centuries of build-up.

The critics are right to point out this is not a miracle technology. If we’re to undo the climate legacy of centuries of carbon-hungry activity, it’s going to take all kinds of carbon removal.
Other research projects are underway, including the use of a rock known as Dunite, which can be spread on farmland to lock up carbon as it weathers, direct capture of CO₂ from the air with the common mineral Olivine, and enhancement of the carbon-storage capacity of marine sediments.

What are your thoughts?

As long as we avoid acceptance and degrowth, we will keep BAU going. With absolutely devastating consequences of course.

I'm afraid you're right. Big changes are coming one way or another.
