Jesus, the comments here are abysmal from what I can tell.
I'm no doomer, but we need to do something about this, even on the grassroots level.

How long until we try some harebrained hail Mary geoengineering attempt like stratospheric aerosol injection or oceanic iron spreading to induce plankton blooms? Before or after the first seven figure mass casualty heat dome+grid failure?
Never, they'll be too busy spending the money on mining the entire southern border.
Probably before, there's already been a few cowboy-ass schemes in that direction.
(And also I don't think a 10k+ mass casualty heat dome event that likely, though only because earlier heat domes will have already killed off too many of the would-be victims.)
I think the prototyping of those and a mass implementation will begin in the early 2030s. Its likely that China will be the only country capable of creating/spearheading that effort, with India being the main country pulling the slack since theyre literally at the forefront of the crisis.
I think we all know that it will absolutely not work but it will give us time to perhaps avert really devastating effects
