We largely do have the resources, it's just that they're all playing video games, trying to get people to click ads, fleecing people out of their retirement money, doing drugs, posting on Reddit, watching TV, posting on Instagram, managing their brands' social media accounts, lobbying against more infrastructure, etc. You're right that it's going to be massively disruptive to how we currently live our lives. A good chunk of us are going to need to find new jobs. IMHO the trigger will be when money becomes worthless, when we see the first billionaire die from a climate-related natural disaster and money can't save them. But I'd question our inability to save ourselves. In the Great Depression we built huge swaths of infrastructure in very short time periods - the Hoover Dam was constructed in just 5 years, the Golden Gate Bridge in 4. That was with 90-year-old technology; when we pull out the stops, we can do even better today. The Oroville Dam spillway was reconstructed over 6 months [1], while Foster City just built a new levee around the entire city in 3 years [2].
