There is no x year limit, there is a x ton of CO2 limit. Gradually reducing CO2 output has a lower area under the curve than doing something for ten years and then dropping output to zero.

You're drawing a huge false equivalence here. The idea that we can deploy renewables at scale within even two or three decades sufficient to reach net zero is patently false.
It's about as false as the idea that we can deploy nuclear at scale in that timeline.
Then we agree -- both false.
