Nothing we can do. Brace for impact and setup a flexible lifestyle so you can rapidly move and adapt depending on what hits first/hardest.

Obviously still support any possible measures to mitigate the damage. Maybe we can still work together to avoid complete catastrophe.

France got its industry decarbonised in 10 years with nuclear.

There are some providers in Russia, China and South Korea who do deliver on time and on buget.

With energy less dependent on climate, we can further proceed to atmospheric CO2 capture and reuse [1]

Putting it here for another direction of hope...

Hope and possible solutions are awesome!

BUT, this is a hair on fire emergency. We are fully and truly fucked and until enough people wake up to this reality, we'll continue with the glacial pace we've had addressing the problem for the past several decades and wake up one day realizing there really is nothing we can do fast enough to matter.

It's entirely possible we've already passed this threshold and we're already dead.

Do you have any reading recommendations on what additional things someone can do to be better prepared for the next 5/10/20/30 years?
Heavily depends on where you live.
Get rich.

Don't vote for morons.
