Yes but, to be clear, we are only fixing the climate emergency _for_ our children, and their children.

Climate change will not really impact most of us alive today.

This is why it has been so hard to get people to make real changes, spend real money reducing our footprint. A lot of people just don't care because they will be dead and gone when the real trouble starts.

Climate change is already effecting millions of people worldwide in drastic, life-changing ways, and those effects will only increase over current lifetimes even under the most aggressive plausible decarbonization scenarios.
