I hope you are right, but I don’t bet on it.
Comment on What is going to happen when people realize climate change is rolling in?

Not much.
We can easily solve climate change. We have the technological capability to do it.
Once it gets bad enough, we will solve it.
Probably with cooling stratospheric aerosols for a few years to buy some extra time to make up for the lost time of the last three decades.

Well, definitely not easily, but reversing climate change is doable. But there are lots of secondary effects caused by climate change that are impossible to reverse, like the extinction of species. And for that reason it's important to stop climate change as soon as possible, even if the heat and air pollution can be reversed.

The only way to solve climate change is to make it more profitable for businesses than pollution. That’s it. That’s the only way that humans can solve the problem.
As with 95% of human problems, it comes down to eradicating greed. Which is a problem humanity can never solve. As long as humans exist, greed will cause them to mistreat other humans and anything else that stands between them and whatever they are greedy for. Power, money, posessions, whatever.
