I think that the climate chaos/catastrophe is a problem several orders of magnitude larger than any solutions we've dreamed of. I don't have much confidence that any effective solution will happen at all:
1. We would need to act as a species, across the entire world, to fix the issues that are already affecting us. But we act as local factions, fighting amongst ourselves.
2. As conditions worsen, our capacity/ability to counter them diminishes.
3. Our economic system stands in opposition to mitigation. There's a stupendous amount of money invested in doing things the current way.
4. Climate refugees will disrupt any places where there's stability enough to try to fix things.
If any humans survive, I don't think that there will be more than a couple of million people left at the end of 2099.
