Fossil fuels aren't going to be given up even remotely soon. They'll still be in use a century from now... because the alternative is pre-civilization, and nobody's going to go for that. Nobody. Billionaires are definitely not giving up their private jets, their 300 foot yachts filled with Russian whores, and their 15,000 square foot mansions that show just how grand and powerful they are.
Normal people aren't giving up their 70 degree indoor air conditioning in the middle of Florida, Texas, or California summers of 100+ degrees, either. You know what else us normal people aren't going to give up? Going to the store and getting a ribeye steak.
Technology is going to have to come up with solutions that we can live with, and we're going to have to accept some of the negatives of climate change. Period, end of story. Rich people aren't going to voluntarily suffer. And most of the Western world is "rich".
