The time to act and prevent destruction and mayhem was 30 years ago.
The CO2 and other gases (Nitrous oxide, Methane, etc.) in the atmosphere already are STILL increasing annually, and will remain on an uptick for DECADES from now...the worst is yet to come, but is already set in stone. The warmer condition today is already baked in (pun intended) to the next few decades; and the mission is changed from prevention to survival.
If one were inclined to be a purely capitalist jerk off about this, they might do well to take a serious look at geographical surveys and decide what areas of current coastal property and arable land up the Mississippi will flood and how far and try to buy up currently worthless land in anticipation of new coastlines and property values in the future.
Current coastal property in many places is going bye-bye into the sea and there won't be much (if anything) that can prevent this any longer. We were warned, but the warnings that told the truth of the expected consequences of inaction were watered down to avoid creating a panic. Scientists have known all along what the models truly meant and how royally fucked the current economic and social paradigm truly is...when things go south, they are going to go like the gravity-assisted fall of a roller coaster.
Anyone know that feeling of reaching the top, just before the free-fall of the coaster takes you? Well, that's what we are living in right now. What comes next is truly terrifying and for BILLIONS of the poorest humans is going to be fatal.
