I feel like at this point it is a political and capitalism problem. We could start impacting global temperature within a week if we actually wanted to fix the issue[1], but a number of industries whose business models basically guarantee they will contribute to climate change won't permit that. Those same companies then lobby congress, etc. If we had the scenario where we told world governments and corporations that the tipping point of no return is in one month, and if we don't do anything the planet is dead in 50 years, what could we do? If we said (just making these up): 1) limit flights to weekdays; 2) limit cruise ships [2]; 3) companies must allow remote work to reduce commutes. (I'm sure someone can and will come up with better examples). Can you imagine the blowback from airlines, etc? I imagine they will find some way to justify not participating, even though it literally means the death of the planet. We have the technology and the know-how, it just isn't stronger than the pathological greed of corporations.
