Yes all that stored energy we are harnessing has quite logically created huge wealth and well being, but the risk is that it is disrupting the entire global climate balance and triggering catastrophic volatility which will come at a significant cost.
Do you think humanity will actually believe this? And I don't mean in surveys or when you have coffee with them. But when they make decisions. Talk is cheap and hear a lot of talk and I rarely see people that actually live like they believe we are headed to disaster.
I'm not saying we are or aren't. But I wonder if people really believe what they hear and say.
What say you?

Climate change is already scientifically proven to be occurring.
You can quibble the precise degree and extent but it is happening already.
People can close their minds to the proven science and some do, for various reasons, but that doesn't change the reality we face.

I did answer your question. Just read my answer again if you missed it the first time.
Note- humanity is not a unified entity however nearly all governments globally have signed the Paris Agreement except a few rogue states who have not.
This is not a problem that can be or ever will be fixed by 'market forces' or individual choices but inherently requires action by government leadership and collective response- you may find that reality challenging too and it may cause some to remain unable to act.
But already most governments have at least recognised the science and the need to take action.
