Literally, the moral and logical answer to your question is to lead a bloody revolution and end this by force tomorrow to prevent absolutely as much poison from leaking out as possible. Not because it will save human lives necessarily (although I think the rates of death from such a revolution as compared to a few decades of worsening conditions before we get to the same point of lowered emissions is just about a wash), but because it could possibly save some measure of biodiversity which will allow for the POSSIBILITY of humans continuing as a species in some randomly calmer areas among the chaos.
That being said, I have been thinking that for a long time and haven’t worked myself up to trying it. Dying painfully is kind of scary, even if you don’t like living.

We all have to face that fear and we will. I have faith in humanity, shaking as it is.
