I am not a scientist, but if we reverse those trends via carbon neutral energy solutions along with a botanical approach (designing plants that are most efficient at absorbing carbon and producing oxygen, then plant things any and everywhere possible, it could end up mitigating the damage enough that although we won't escape a bad change in climate, we might bring the change down to survivable levels.
It's a long shot, but at least try adding that bit instead of admitting how hopeless it truly appears to be. JMO
