Nothing has been done. The fossil fuel industry and the politicians and courts/judges/justices they & control own won't let it happen. They will get filthy rich, and the rest of us will burn in our own self-made Hell.

Billionaires will survive the longest or leave the planet to a space station others are not allowed on. Elysium, as it were. Art imitates life.
