Just let's all keep our eye on the ball in the process. We needed to be shutting down all fossil fuel use by last Thursday or before.
Or we can accept the consequences of not doing that...

Too bad that the global cultural infrastructure is powered 87% by fossil fuel, isn't it? That makes it kind of hard to do anything about it before the climate shit hits the fan - probabilistically speaking, of course.
