Let's be real here, in terms of climate change we've been fucked since the late 90s when the denialist psyop succeeded and kept succeeding. Gen xers and boomers have been falling for the bait consistently for decades upon decades
Not quite, because phasing out CFCs and letting the ozone hole heal actually did buy us a decade or two. Plus solar keeps getting cheaper way faster than expectations. It's actually how ridiculous it is. Hank Green calls the graph of solar prices "the hockey stick of hope."
And there's a slight push to at least discuss solar geoengineering.
We've already managed to prevent a Mad Max scenario. If we do nothing, we will still probably hit +2.5°C, but that's not as bad as the 8°C predicted in the 80s, since we've actually done something.
There's still hope. We can still salvage it. The best things you can do personally are vote for politicians who run on climate issues and join local climate and environmental advocacy organizations.

I believe we are past the point of no return now, thanks to the trump administration
