Honestly people should just be enjoying the world prior to it falling into chaos. It’s going to be very ugly. It’ll make Covid look like a tea party.
The last-ditch effort of carbon capture is still a possibility. And a lot of work in preparation remains as well. The more resilient we can become the less suffering there will be. And some of these things are not even complicated, such as large monocultures being much more susceptible to crop failures for example.

And then consider that the x-axis does not cover the full carbon available as fossil fuels. Depending on estimation, this could be 15,000 GtC, maybe more (the lower axis in that plot).

It's not looking good now, but we can make this so much worse.
You're right about the mitigation, of course.
