Oh no we are. We were told in the 80's that we had 20 years. It's been 40 years.

They also told us that when we start seeing the signs, it's too late.

Realistically at this point all we can do is mitigate the damage as much as possible. There's going to be widespread migrations, famine, resource wars. Humanity will survive but the environment will be drastically altered damn near permanently.

Humans will survive but will pay the greatest cost.

I would argue that the greatest cost is paid by all the species that vanish forever.
