Don't worry, I'm sure if we all keep doing the same thing this will sort itself out.
How about we go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.
Sorry, the Winchester had to close due to Covid and anyway, we have a water shortage so no beer.
Just add a little nuclear winter and we're good. So there might be a little radioactive fallout, that's just a problem for the poors to deal with. Billionaires will be okay in their acre sized underground bunker clubs and that's what's important.

I know it's a joke but I actually looked into it and it turns out that nuclear winter only reduces temperature in the short term - the effects wear off and you'd just get hit with global warming abruptly when it wears off. I guess it could potentially buy some time to implement carbon capture or something.
Just bury our heads in the sand, then our torsos, then while you are at it, might as well just start living underground.
If by sort itself out you mean the planet wiping us out in a few generations, yeah
Seriously the green rhetoric needs to change. The planet is going to be fine. Humans aren't.
