"Head in the sand" happy-clappy, willful ignorance won't help either. This underestimates and patronizes subsequent generations. Greta Thunberg is just one example of transcending hopelessness and not falling into learned helplessness. It is a climate change emergency and existential threat that must be deal with honestly without sensationalizing or minimizing because world leaders and the billionaires are killing the species long-term with apathy, greed, and delay.
What's needed is action now. Specifically, not "Mission Accomplished" ostensible, piece-meal virtue-signaling planting a tree, divestment, or changing fuels. Large-scale, oceanic bio-CSS is one of the primary technologies that must be deployed at a minimum rate of several trillion USD per year.
Only drastic carbon negative civilization will work for the foreseeable future, and CCS is the only way to get there because carbon, lifestyle, and economic austerity sure won't work.
