Will we look back at today's "go green" initiatives as stupid and inadequate?

When I was in elementary school, the cafeteria switched to disposable plastic trays because the paper ones hurt trees. Stupid, I know... but are today's initiatives any better?

I’m guessing it starts with the supply chain.

It will be like COVID all over again. Got toilet paper?

Except it will not get better after a few years.

I expect first world famine to reappear within the next 2-3 years ngl.

That’s pretty aggressive. I would say 20 years. But we will adapt, as we have always done.

I wish I could share your optimism, I think when it does happen people will be running around saying "holy shit this wasnt supposed to happen for at least another decade!"

Oh I wouldn’t call it optimism. It will be extremely unpleasant (to put it mildly) and probably 99% of human population will die. But the survivors will adapt.
