Climate change doesn't matter when it's lawyers and economists in charge, there's money to be made... unfortunately.

Eh, it was predicted we would die because the population growth was exceeding our ability to farm food, but then out of necessity the industrial revolution happened.

I think we are predicting we will die but out of necessity we will make the necessary changes to save ourselves just in time. Not just stopping emissions (this will only help slow the worsening, since we might be past the point of no return by the time we do this), but also carbon capture to remove the CO2, while simultaneously seeding extra clouds with something like the salt water canons running on cargo ships, and other such tech to reflect the sun while we get to work on CO2 capture.

The CO2 will have to be sequestered back in the ground, so a method will have to be made to liquify and pump it back in, but it's theoretically possible.
