What is bothering me now, is that the coronavirus response provides damning evidence against our ability to act on climate change, but it is also stealing our time to act.

Latest development is rising infection rates in countries opening up. There's a balancing act how much we "open up", vs what measures have most impact. The last part should be solvable.
