No, we've fucked that up and that ship has sailed.
The people raising the alarm over that level being breached aren't actually suggesting that there's any reasonable way to prevent it.
That may very well be a messaging problem, but mostly because of people like you that have managed to entirely misread it.

Something along the lines of the carbon wedges proposal from 2004:
http://www-g.eng.cam.ac.uk/impee/topics/stabilisationwedges/...
Each wedge is a 25GtC reduction of emissions over the next 50 years.
We should have started 20 years ago, we could choose to start now.
Note that "banning all cars" is not one of the proposed wedges.
