Basically we combine offshore and onshore wind, solar, and other stuff where its possible.

Well that depends on what you mean by point of no return. When scientists talk about the point of no return, many are taking into consideration that decades of design/upgrade/reformatting work needed to our infrastructure, and this is why you see some scientists saying we've already passed the point of no return, since they don't see this work being done any time soon and it is getting all the more unlikely each passing day.
Really, we're already past a version of a point of no return. But that point of no return might be more livable than we have predicted, and for that reason we must fight for the potential future within it. And even if its not, then what is there left to do but fight for the very existence of a "human" human race.
With point of no return I personally mean a runaway greenhouse effect, at which even a total cut in CO2 emissions would not be enough to halt the positive feedback loop.
Technically, even then we could use technology to slightly reduce the amount of sunlight the earth receives to try and counteract the warming, but you know, we went from some mild and slow reforms 40 years ago, to pretty substantial measures 20 years ago, to measures never achieved before in human history today, right towards "just some little global scale sci-fi geo engineering" in a decade or two...
Nah I don't really mean any idealistic hopes of technology saving us, moreso saying that as we pass the tipping points in a chaotic system that has only been observed at near equilibrium, our predictive capabilities for human habitability get less detailed and more speculative. Regardless of whether as a species we are doomed already, we will be even more doomed if we do not take a stand as one whole humanity and overthrow the systems that brought us here. We don't have any more time, we don't have another two decades to gather strength in the movement.
