I like the Adams Rule of Slow Moving Disasters: whenever humanity can see a slow-moving disaster coming, we find a way to avoid it. I don't doubt that we will continue to emit CO2 for a while, and the temperature will keep climbing, but when things get unbearable, people will act swiftly. I expect that the hotter earth becomes, and the more we try to replace fossil fuels, the more electricity is needed. A hotter earth means air conditioning almost everywhere, huge desalination plants to provide water and so on. So the most important thing in the world is to create energy cheaply without emissions. I guess that there will be a much higher focus on nuclear fusion research to have a clean source for those energy needs, and in the meantime conventional nuclear plants will be used. If we reach a point where temperatures become too bad, geo-engineering will also be a huge topic.
