** Aqqaüqüququq invents and scales up efficient carbon dioxide removal. The world successfully deploys CDR in addition to achieving net zero emissions, bringing temperatures back down to <1.5°C in 80 years after 1.5°C is first reached. Eco-fascism loses power.

** Medical and life extension/anti-aging research is pursued instead, eventually bearing fruit. This accelerates collective human learning, as humans can now learn and achieve more in their lifetimes as the prerequisite material needed for each new discovery keeps increasing.
