Tbf there was a good solution 50 years ago but gov'ts didn't do anything about it.
On a related note I'm currently visiting friends in northwestern Ontario (I left about 13 years ago). On the way here I saw quite a few white birds migrating north and mistakenly thought they were snow geese. Turns out they're swans that started migrating further north about 10 years ago.
We are utterly FUBARed at this point.
Its always scary to see the impacts of climate change on an individual basis.
No one here, especially those reading these articles, were around then. All we can do it mitigate and reduce future impact.
Part of that is understanding that shits gonna get expensive for us. BUT if people collectively push against the government and complain about things like high food prices (when driven by actual food scarcities, not 'inflation' and corporate greed), the response will be to offload problems to another generation by stealing water from elsewhere, increased use of fossil fuels, or some other short term stop gap.
We as a society will not get the same life our parents and grandparents had. Full stop. If we try to, we will fuck things up even more for the next generation. It sucks, but I don't see another way around it. It can still be a good life, but we need to change a whole lot to get there.
I'm in N Alberta and swans have migrated past here this time of year for the half-century I've been alive. My dad says they've done that as long as he can remember. And we don't get snow geese through here, it's definitely swans, because I've seen them land.
