As with every major man made catastrophe, it could have been avoided, if we cared enough about it. Also, there is never a single solution that will fix everything, but if we got behind half a dozen of the best options, we could probably avoid the worst effects, but that would require actually making a global plan and sticking with it through various administrations. The one good thing if civilization does collapse, is that doesn't necessarily mean the end of humanity. It just means thousands to hundreds of thousands of years to get back to normal temperature wise. In that time frame I'm sure we will evolve to handle those tempatures, but of course not without all the tradedgy and loss of life.
