You should look into the details. The basic problem is that feedbacks happening now are committing us to large changes several decades or more in the future.

Fun to speculate about, but it's not the sort of long-term stuff that's going to fix things.

Some more than others. Of course the larger need is to recognize the urgency of the crisis, call it the emergency it is and implement a broad set of solutions scaled to the need.
