It looks very simple. Public awareness and pressure will gradually change those incentives and emissions will be reduced significantly. At the same time people are going to adapt to the new environment as best they can and live on. If everything goes well, living standards around the world in a hundred years will be a lot higher than now.
Of course, this is not a given. A lot of people have to work very hard to get there. A lot of people have to change their minds or die, their opinions losing relevance. Alot of people will get unlucky or won't have the means to adapt to the new conditions, resulting in some of the worst humanitarian crises the world has ever seen. Conflict and war is a possibility that might work against this solution. There might be some big issues noone can think of now.
However unsexy this might sound, this is the solution and it will happen. The question is when and how much suffering it will take to get there.
