I wouldn’t worry about the future too much, if you know what I mean.
Boomers are still largely sticking their heads in the ground, and they’re in the best position currently to do anything about it. Even my own mother, a lifelong democrat and trump hater, an educated woman (a librarian to boot) still thinks that climate change won’t really have much effect until I’m her age (about 30 years).
Humanity is still a good many years out from being ready to accept the responsibility of what we’ve done, and there are probably a lot less than a good many years until it starts having a profound effect on everyone’s day to day life.
Currently dying of heat in Zagreb. It used to be way less extreme and colder, and I am not even that old. In the last 6 years it has gotten exponentially worse year on year.

it’s already having a significant effect today, at least here in Croatia (Europe) with each summer having worse heatwaves than the last.
