> Global warming and energy production in general could be solved by fusion

Yes and no. I think you know the yes. The no is because the damage we've done has delayed effects. To solve it you need to do a ton of sequestration. But I also HIGHLY encourage funding of fusion and I think it is a necessary step forward that we can't ignore.

Having lots of cheap energy from fusion would definitely help scale up sequestration efforts.

The last couple decades have clearly shown that the limit on humanity's capabilities is the amount of electricity we can command.
