Sarcasm my friend. People who don't acknowledge climate change are certainly refusing to see what's happening around them.

Serious answer is people will need to have supplies of essentials and learn to consume less. With the cost of living going up, people are already forced into these habits.

Yes stop using ice cars/planes or ships, reduce your meat consumption and get less kids. But somehow I fear you mean some next generation needs to adapt for our failures.

No. I'm just realistic. Mankind is not going to adapt over night. If change comes over night, mankind will riot. That's how we are. The individual can do something about it. The masses won't. It has happend. Only recently even. During COVID. We all know how people reacted on only a very brief risk of having to change their lifestyle. With looting and foraging.

"Imagine it's war and nobody goes" does not work! Collective action would be required. However that does only happen if sitting on our butts becomes more inconvenient than acting. We are lazy bastards. Like everything in the universe we always strive for the lowest possible level of energy. Or in our case, the lowest level of inconvenience. Thus, alas, things have to become way more inconvenient for us to act as a collective, not just as individuals that cannot change anything alone.
