We simply do not have anything to work with. Its not a collaboration problem it's a denial problem. One side is in denial about the change of the climate and one side is in denial about the fact that nothing we currently do against it has any relevant effect. Even if we would increase all our effort by an order of magnitude, it would not matter at all. Humans today with the technology we have now can only survive trough pollution. If pollution could be turned off we would have a mass extinction not green sustainable economy or whatever feelgood term people want to use.

The concepts that could potential work to reduce temperature, like putting stuff in the atmosphere to reflect sunlight, are just way way to risky to just try out and see what happens.

And last but not least we started recording temperatures at about the lowest point in the last 10k years and now we measure warmer and warmer temps. Regardless of how much human activities made the increase faster, it is going up anyway an its not reversible and we have simply no clue about whether speeding up or slowing down the warming will cause or prevent some large scale humanitarian catastrophe for the next generations.

If we assume there will be a mass extinction in the future no matter what. Our action today can only shift the date for that mass extinction, sounds logical but we do not know which actions shift the date in which direction.

Also should we even care? Through all out human history the people never did and humans survived anyway through adoption not through careful planning of our ancestors. In fact if you would ask a person just 200 years ago what they and their generation could do to make our life better they would comm up with all kinds of nonsense that is totally irrelevant to us now.
