I don't see a dent...
You won’t. We’re combatting near-exponential growth. Each year we need to increase our efforts just to prevent worsening, let alone reversal.
This is because the largest accelerant is completely out of our control now. As the ice caps melt, desalinating our oceans, rich black soil is exposed. This soil absorbs and retains heat far more readily than the white ice, accelerating the warming of nearby ground ice. As bacteria begins to break down the newly thawed decaying organisms, large amounts of methane is released into the atmosphere. Methane traps 28x more heat than CO2, then it breaks down into CO2 and water after a decade where it continues to retain heat for centuries.
Even if there was, there is something like a 15 to 20 year lag time anyway before it would start to show up in data.
And that assumes we haven't hit a tipping point into a runaway feedback loop.
And what's even worse is that there is a masking effect from increased particulates in the air. Basically a physical cooling effect that is reducing the observable impact of climate change
