I am not looking forward to the future “resource” wars as we begin to see significant decreases in habitable land; water scarcity; food shortages; and decreases in oxygen quality (clean air).

I'm calling on everyone in the tech community to exercise your agency. Get politically active. Invent new solutions. Change jobs if you need to. This is the most important problem to be working on right now, and will continue to be until we achieve gigaton scale carbon capture.
