Companies greenwashing is a massive cope because their green projects ask for energy and non-renewable materials, plus technologies we're very far to master. We don't have 500 years to change, in fact the worst is already done.DAC

High Hopes claims stratospheric breakthrough in direct air CO2 capture
In the race to get humanity toward zero carbon emissions by 2050, the vast majority of efforts will rightly be focused on reducing emissions at their source. But there are areas where this simply won't be possible, and as carbon taxes gradually rise around the globe there will definitely be a…newatlas.com
I've seen hundreds of those green projects and none of them is realistic on the long term. All those projects take the idea that our world as he is, made of over-consumption, can be maintained. I call this myth the "Myth of Eternal France". Here in France people think nothing will change because our country has survived 185 wars and won 132 of them. But one never wins a war against Nature. It's not an enemy you can shoot. And in a mere century, half this country would have become completely unlivable.
Don't let them greenwash you, we've already lost this war against Nature.
Btw no matter how bad climate change gets some portion of humanity would still survive. Just like a meteor impact on the same scale that killed the dinosaurs wouldn't do it either.
Mount Toba eruption almost wiped out humanity yet humanity persisted.
How would they survive ? European migrants colonizing Antarctica ? When the whole world would have become a desert and oceans much too warm, nothing will produce our oxygen. We'll not fish anything in an empty antarctic ocean. Salted water can't be drink. Coal, oil and rare materials won't respawn. The problem is not the fall of our civilization - such falls have already happened in the past - but the fact that there will be no resources to start a new one. Civilizations that felt always migrated elsewhere and started over ; but there's no planet B. We can't start elsewhere with brand new resources is our whole planet is fucked up with no resources needed left.
What happens now is us trying to survive on Mount Toba's slopes just after it erupted.
And if we receive a meteor like the Chicxulub one that vanished dinosaurs, I don't know if you've seen dinosaurs recently but it's quite rare, excepted if you think chickens can be considered as dinosaurs-survivors. Which is a very optimistic way to see the dinosaur situation.
