> there will be a solution before things get too dire

There is. It’s called money. If you have enough of it, things will not get dire for you in your lifetime. And enough of it will keep your kids’ kids from feeling the effects too seriously.

Money is both the solution and the problem. Until the people who can insulate themselves from climate change through wealth. are willing to significantly reduce their current quality of life, there’s no chance to avoid dire-ness for those without money.

And honestly in terms of direness for many, the money has been spent and now it’s just about waiting for the bill to come due.
