I don't believe our... culture, economic and political, the way we think and act, perhaps even the way our brains developed and are configured as a species; are up to the multiple challenges we are facing in relation to climate breakdown. Essentially, climate breakdown is way too big for us to really grasp, too theoretical, too far in the future and too scary to address. On top of all that our economic culture... Capitalism, isn't going to be easy, and this is putting it mildly, to replace with something else entirely... a strictly controlled economy where energy consumption is drastically reduced, and all that goes with it. When industrial capitalism took off a couple of centuries ago, I don't think we realised that we were making a pact with the Devil. We get to have an enormous 'party', at least in the developed world, for a time; and then it all ends and Devil appears and tell us the 'party's' over and the price has to be paid. Turning our green and pleasant planet into Hell on Earth. We don't get dragged down into Hell by screaming demons. The Devil lets us do all the work here. Unfortunately, I think way too many people would have made that pact with the Devil even if they knew what the consequences were, the price to be paid by future generations.
